"Lew Wallace was a powerful writer, having experienced the attrocities of the Civil War first hand, it left a lasting impression on his writing career. I can say Ben hur is my all time favorite." — Lance (5 out of 5 stars)
"Lew Wallace was a powerful writer, having experienced the attrocities of the Civil War first hand, it left a lasting impression on his writing career. I can say Ben hur is my all time favorite."
" Good story. Let down a bit by an overly simplistic ending. "
" Wallace's eloquent address of the intra-faith belief systems and the conflicts which are associated with them offers a unique and somewhat liberal viewpoint for the period. "
" As good as the movie, which won a record number of Academy Awards. "
" Loved this book, very exciting to see the mission of Jesus through a bystanders eyes. "
" This was my favorite book as a kid. I read it 10 times - no joke. It's been a few years since the last time I read it, but I think it's one that withstands the test of time. "
" Finally done. The first half of the book had good moments but was too slow overall. But the second half was great - fast-moving and interesting. I'm glad to be done and free to read other things. "
" It's been 30 years since I first read this. Want to read it again. "
" That was a very interesting view on the time when Jesus shall have lived ... though the story itself was really good, exciting and captivating. "
" Its play with the history(/legend) of Jesus was good. I usually prefer books to movies. But (for me atleast) Ben Hur the movie was better than the book. "
" Dry at times, but also interesting. Life of Brian without the satire. "
" I give it 3 stars for being so bone-crushingly long. But it was good. Way too Christian for something I would pick out for myself to read. Guess that's why my Aunt gave it to me. "
" An excellent historical novel. Really brings to life the events and conditions of life around the time of Jesus. "
" Written by the governor of New Mexico! "
" Whether or not you liked the movie, the book is incredible. I've read it three times, and I don't reread books much anymore. "
" I loved this book. It's difficult to get into at first, and some of the descriptions are a bit long, but the writing quality is excellent, and the story is amazing. "
" A good read and short easy reading. Good book about life of a Jewish boy/man in the days of Jesus. Good info about the author included at the end too. Very interesting. "
" After reading this book I despise the movie!!! I enjoyed Wallace's leisurely descriptions of everything! "
" I don't remember anything except that it was awesome! "
" Was really good at the beginning, then the details started making it excrutiatingly bland. I definately love the story though. Its awesome. I wanna c the movie! "
" I read this long book long ago. "
" I found the interweaving of the Christ story and Ben-Hur's story a bit clumsy. "
" This is a book you could probably skip the whole first book of, but once you get into it, it is hard to put down. A great read. "
" I liked it pretty good, but sometimes it went on and on about stuff that really didn't have much to do with the plot.:P "
" Part of my '50 Classic Books' that is on my nook. The first few chapters have me hooked. "
