4.0 out of 5 stars Great characters + great plot + deep and thoughtful themes = great fiction, October 31, 2006
This review is from: Tides of War (Audio Cassette)
I have to go somewhat against the crowd of reviewers on this one and say how much I enjoyed this book. The character and plot development are complex and with great depth. It is a fine work of fiction of any type - a winning plot, 3-dimensional characters, themes that make you think and that have important implications. It is a study in the kind of characters democricies tend to extol and then demonize. Humanity is indeed fickle. As the author Calvin Miller observed, Palm Sundays and Good Fridays all fall neatly into the same week. Humanity in power as a democracy makes for the same unpredictable shifts in favor in unbelievably fast order.

For the character and plot alone this is a great work of fiction, the deep themes make it all the more enjoyable and thought-provoking.

Mr. Guidall as narator is, in my opinion, ideal for the reading. His voice and manner seem ideally suited for such a novel. Very well done.
