5.0 out of 5 stars Very truthful, May 31, 1998

This review is from: Unholy Orders (Hardcover)

Having grown up in newfoundland and being present there while the Mount Cashel scandal came to light and underwent inquiry, I can assure the other reviewers that this book is indeed truthful. The circumstances the book describes are so incredibly shocking that I can readily understand why readers would have skepticism regarding its basis in reality. That just makes the story so much more worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars The author did his best but didn't understand nuances., May 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Unholy Orders (Hardcover)

The author did a lot of work in writing this book. His research was accurate but his findings were often off the mark because he just didn't understand some of the nuances. He painstakingly went over all the data, included accurate quotes, and came to mostly accurate conclusions. Unfortunately, some of his conclusions missed the mark. A good effort. He should be congratulated for his effort if not for his conclusions.
