4.0 out of 5 stars Satan's Sorrow was my joy, July 7, 2000

By 

Jason Hardware - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sorrows of Satan, or: The Strange Experience of One Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire (Paperback)

A beautifully eloquent book which sadly demonstrates the decline in the expressiveness of modern language. I was gripped from the first chapter onwards and felt empathy and emotion as to the plight of the main characters.

The devil is wonderfully described and I feel as if I know him all too well. He passes such sublime insights into theological debate that it sets the mind spinning. It is a cleverly described work of fiction which tends to polarise one's opinion towards religion and the general inhumanity of mankind. What struck me was that the description of "jaded youth", of selfish and "sensual egotism" in the late 1800's was equally applicable in the new Millennium. After reading it I found myself less likely to bemoan daily trivial problems and more likely to appreciate the simpler beauty of nature around me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorrows of Satan by Marrie Corelli, February 28, 2002

By 

Pryse Ezekwesili (Nigeria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sorrows of Satan, or: The Strange Experience of One Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire (Paperback)

This novel is a MUST READ for every one that really appreciates what a novel in all its ramifications is. It happens to be the first novel I have read from cover to cover in twenty-four hours. It is so gripping that you can not do any other thing than turning over the pages to know what happens next. Readers should be warned that if they have any other thing to do in a day, they should not borther opening even the first page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second in her Trilogy on Christianity and the Devil, October 3, 2005

By 

Queen of Cups (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sorrows of Satan, or: The Strange Experience of One Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire (Paperback)

Following her commercial success of "Barabbas," a revision fantasy on the crucifixion, Corelli wrote "The Sorrows of Satan," a sequel to "Barabbas" and thoroughly horrified the Christian world. There is an underlying mystical strength to her glorification of Satan as a misunderstood adventurer in the modern world. This book broke all previous records in Britain's publishing history and hence made Corelli England's best selling author up to that time. "The Master-Christian" is the capper in the trilogy.
