4.0 out of 5 stars An original, October 27, 2002

This review is from: Tempting Faith DiNapoli: A Novel (Hardcover)

This book is quite enjoyable, especially for the Christian (not just Catholic) females out there. Faith is constantly guilt-ridden, not that it stops her from "busting all 10 Commandments". She tries to be godly and consistently fails, but it is her conscience and guilt that endear her to the reader. This book is definitely an original, and you will not want to put it down until you find out how Faith and her family end up.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, touching and heartwarming, August 22, 2002

This review is from: Tempting Faith Di Napoli (Hardcover)

I loved this book, bought it because of an excerpt in the National Post that made me want to read more. So many of the experiences of the members of this family brought back memories of growing up in the same area where the book took place. Such a wacky, dysfunctional family, but some of the characters seemed so real,I actually laughed out loud through parts, and could have cried at others.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book, September 1, 2002

This review is from: Tempting Faith Di Napoli (Hardcover)

This was one of the best books I have ever read. Equally heartbreaking, and hilarious. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel what it is like to be in a REAL family, with real dilemmas, and real love. This family, as disfunctional as they were, really loved eachother, were truly close in every way. I adored each and every one of them. This was a wonderful book, it will make you laugh and cry, and the characters remain in my heart long after the last page is turned. I loved it!!!
