Wonderful

Revisado: 07-13-24

A great novel that becomes ever more interesting considering it is based on a real event and then fictionalized by Endo. A deep study of the clash of East and West, and ultimately, the place of Christianity in that world.

A Tale of Father's and Son's

Revisado: 06-11-24

A book that touches on the deep love between a father and a son, and the enormous sacrifice in which a father makes to bring a measure of life for his child. I can't say it will be for everyone, but The Road is one of those books that brings you to the very forefront of humanity, both its good and its evil.

A Classic of Modern Literature

Revisado: 05-31-24

Clarke's writing us exquisite and truly a gem in the modern age. I felt that I was reading a book by Dickens, yet included magic and all things fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone.

A Haunting Read

A weird and wonderful listen

Revisado: 01-23-24

As always, Murakami leaves many more riddles than answers. my main gripe with Kafka on the Shore, having listened to it twice now, is Kafka's story. at times I am enraptured, but other times am disgusted. Nakata and his story is by far the redeeming factor that brings me back. I still believe that The Wind Up Bird Chronicle is his best and most compelling work, but Kafka is certainly an interesting piece in Murakami's body of works.

Confused and Dissatisfied

Revisado: 01-12-24

I would call myself a great admirer of Haruki Murakami and The Wind Up Bird Chronicle is in my top ten favorite books, but 1Q84 lost me by the end. Far too much is left unsaid, even by Murakami standards. The love story seemed strung together like an overcooked noodle. The voice for Aomame was like fingers on a chalk board. By and far, I would say this is Murakami's least coherent work and is in a desperate need of an editor to shave of a good third of the book. I don't regret listening but I could never recommend a friend to read 1Q84.

At time enthralled

I both loved and struggled with Killing Commendatore. The focus on many of sexual aspects always made me cringe and distracted me from the story.

Seriously good!

Revisado: 01-08-22

As a Orthodox Christian, I found this book fascinating. I had very little knowledge of Ethiopia before this book, but I am pleased to say that Ethiopia is now a country that I feel I must visit once before I die.

Absolutely great!

An incredibly funny and endearing book. It is sad though that it will forever remain unfinished.

A Must Read for Any Serious Christian

Revisado: 07-28-21

I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Apologetics and realize that I know nothing of how the early church and Judiasm functioned. This book dispels many myths and propaganda pieces that exist in Christendom. Father Stephen has written a treasure for Christians and most especially, Orthodoxy.
