Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Cold River: a survivor's story is about man's desire for freedom during a time when none existed. Jozef describes the village in which he grew up with such emotion and sadness that the reader can hear the snow crunching beneath his expectant mother's feet as she makes her way through the snow drifts. This story is fact, not fiction, when you are finished you will know what it is like to taste freedom for the first time. And perhaps feel pain of its cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doorstopper, Indeed., April 2, 2006
By Dinah Roseberry (Phoenixville, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Doorstopper, indeed.

I was surprised at the review placed on this site saying that Cold River was nothing more than a doorstopper. Then I got to thinking-since I have read the book cover to cover. Yes, indeed, there are certainly those in the world who might find this a good doorstopper. People who don't respect freedom or care that others are persecuted. People who think that violence is a means to subjugating groups of individuals. People who lump others together in tight little groups so that they can be more easily hated. Yes. Some people might be just the kinds of people to use this book as a doorstopper. Sad that we must remind ourselves that there is a place even for hateful, uneducated readers/thinkers/reviewers. Oh, and folks, the book is insightful. And frightening. Because it's real.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm freedom from a cold river, May 13, 2007
It is a book in which the author weaves through a rich tapestry of life, living, loving, politics and all that goes with it under a strict "regime" of a young man. For me paints a picture of showing contrast and similarity of life then and now. It gave me an insight into a political regime and economics as well. One could just imagine the mother's anguish over loosing a son (without a goodbye) to freedom in the west.

I related to times of growing up where little was a lot, nature was the playground where adventures were had by children. There is conversation and story and morals to the stories.

But what struck me most was the message that "freedom" is valuable and can be threatened under any political regime. And in this time of capitalism, greed and globalisation it is relevant message.. times which for me where I feel that there is an erosion of freedom on all fronts where government and corporate worlds have the same goals.

Enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Truth is compelling reading, March 22, 2006
The writer has enabled us to join him in his real pursuit of life with freedom. Freedom that can only be taken lightly by those who have never had it compromised. When the day to day annoyances of freeway traffic,rude check out staff and stress overtakes you, this book is a reality check of what we take for granted and a life journey we hope never to experience. A book to appeal to the intellect and hope in us all.
