Interesting perspective!
Somewhat in line with my views.
A little confusing when you do not have a full knowledge of the scriptures. Had to skip some parts when the author went into specific details.

Not was I expected..
Read the first two stories thinking they were linked but then realized that this book was 3 stories.
Someone mentioned that these stories were ideas for different novels.. maybe.
Somewhat of a waste of time...

A quick read because of the thrill. Back to the old Grishams!
Unfortunately the epilogue is incomplete..it would have been nice to know what happened to all of the characters.

Definitely intetesting.. i feel for the authors. Their faith kept them going. A window on the truth..
There is also a morale: Don't expect the Canadian Government to help you under these conditions....

I do not really agree with the readers who rated this book as "horrible"...
It may be not one of his best and a little slow, but when you stick though it it is still an OK story.
As far as I am concerned it is still better that some of the non fictions he has written.
I did not realize until few pages that I had read that book before and completely forgot about it... as I said..a little slow...I do not really agree with the readers who rated this book as "horrible"...

Unless like mot of the people, We enjoyed the movie. It was well played and gave us a new view on Hemingway. Great writer, but not an example to follow. Not a happy story.
The Spanish Civil War historical events were mostly accurate, but it was portrayed too much as a Big Party. Mixing current days filming with old clips was also interesting.Unless like mot of the people, We enjoyed the movie. It was well played and gave us a new view on Hemingway.

Would agree with Rslade.
Nothing really to hold the story together.
Great friendship true story though..
Could not watch the end properly at the copy I got #5625 was damaged around the 10th chapter (around 1h 15min of viewing). so if you can: DO NOT GET THIS COPY!
No subtitles.. Got to get used to the Aussie accent...Would agree with Rslade.

Although this novel is a little better than the last few ones it does not reach the thrilling level of Grisham's first books 25 years ago.
Easy and enjoyable o read, but we know the end from he start!

I made the mistake to assume that the episodes were independent (like MASH).
They follow each other so I missed some parts.
Just ensure that you borrow the episodes in order by season.
Otherwise is a good series if you like this type of movies.
