Learn the real difference between purging and purifying...and begin to recognize early on when you're actually under divine fire...a controlled fire that makes all the impurities rise to the top. Whenever you feel like you're going to die because of life's circumstances, that means you need to! You need to die in the flesh! Natural fire will burn up...but there's another kind of fire...the kind used under pressure on hard metals...the kind that ultimately finds what's good and pure.

"I like the author's philosophy, and his characters' episodes are gripping. But, at least on a first reading, I wonder how some of them fit and what the author was trying to do, particularly in the odd section entitled "A Memory of the Plains."" — Brent (4 out of 5 stars)
"I like the author's philosophy, and his characters' episodes are gripping. But, at least on a first reading, I wonder how some of them fit and what the author was trying to do, particularly in the odd section entitled "A Memory of the Plains.""
" This is one of my favorite books of all time. Reading Mark Helprin is such a treat. You get history, the story of individuals, and wild description in one book. SO good! "
" Yet another fine novel from this man. There's so much GOODNESS in his writing, I just can't stand it. "
" A little more tragic than funny, but still a very good read. "
" I have often wondered if this isn't the most autobiographical of Helprin's novels. This is a book I have given as a gift to a few of those that I love, which says a lot. "
" Gripping, manly stuff until it descends in magical realism, the realism aspect beings somewhate absent. "
" Wonderful read based on Helprin's service in the IDF. Well worth it! "
" One of my favorites! Great adventures, and a dramatic metaphor for the strength that comes from the human experience (sounds dramatic, but it's true!) "
" Wonderful - beautifully written, inspiring story. "
" One of my all-time favorites -- an a timely read given what's happening in Isreal. "
" This novel has its moments but could have benefited from a good editor who might have advised the author to delete the anti-feminist rants, anti-union rants, sophomoric philosophizing, and strained metaphors. "
" My favorite novel by my favorite novelist. "
" A bit self-serving and a bit forgettable, methinks. Still, I enjoyed it. "
" More brilliance from Mark Helprin. "
" Helprin's prose is excellent. I don't quite know what to make of the book, other than to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. "
" OUTSTANDING- Couldn't stop reading. "
" Helprin's writing is absolutely wonderful. his stories are crafted finely and his characters remain with you long after the story ends. "
" I didn't like this so much. Still a wonderful writing style, but the story is a little raw. Something of a "man's book", I think. "
" I would consider this the most "guy" book of Helprin's collection. I remember it as being full of battles and Navy talk and guy moments. But I liked it nonetheless. Perhaps 20 years as a Navy wife, made it more understandable to me. "
" I'm only about 50 pages in and I've already been sobbing hysterically. Damn you, Mark Helprin. I am a glutton for punishment... "
" This is my favorite novel of all. Helprin is one of the best living American writers. His plots are transcendantly beautiful, and his phrasing is almost unbearably lovely. I wish I could live inside one of his novels. "
