A really good read,
By
This review is from: The Tenth Cow (Paperback)
Imagine Raymond Candler and Elmore Leonard got together to write a page turner of a novel about religious fundamentalism in many places and in many forms - Israel, the US, Kaballah, Christian Zionism, etc. Schefrin is neither of them, writes with his own voice, and has produced an entertaining and informative book which had me laughing out loud in its first pages but left me in a deeply serious and thoughtful mood by its end. It is about the world we live in, the world we might have to live in, and the world we would rather not live in.
The book is full of religious arcana, all of which is carefully researched and documented. I learned a lot and suspect you will too. I recommend it. Try it, you'll enjoy it.

EXTRAORDINARY,
By
This review is from: The Tenth Cow (Paperback)
The Tenth Cow is an extraordinary book which brings the reader excitement and joy. Aram Schefrin captures the "Polo Scene" in Palm Beach. He then then spins a tale of mystery and intrigue, incorporating the middle east crises, the return of the messiah, and the Kabalah. He spices the book with a touch of romance and much more. His characters are compelling and real. The descriptions of Isreal make you feel there. The result is a very enjoyable page turner which is a surprise discovery for any reader. This is a book you will not soon forget. It should be a New York Times hard cover best seller. Aram Schefrin should write more!!

One and a half sittings !,
By polo reader "polo reader" (florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tenth Cow (Paperback)
Could not put this book down !
Aram Schefrin reminds me of Tom Clancey's devotion to authentic details. This is a fast moving book and has an eerie quality of mixing fiction with fact. The author's political views seem to be "right on" imho. His Marwan was also very enjoyable, but I find this one even better. I am waiting for his next book!
