"I very much enjoyed this historical fiction. Spanning several generations and several continents, this is a big story - and very well told. There was one bobble where Edmond was referred to as Edward, but I think I can forgive that."

" Loved the writing; loved the story. Well written. "
— Glorey, 11/20/2013" Very interesting story. A lot of loops, turns and twists. Can get a little lost towards the end, at which point I was beginning to loose my interest. Well written. "
— Sonia, 12/19/2012" Honestly, I never finished it. It was fairly interesting, but I "listened" to it instead of "read" it and when my ipod kept messing up the audio, I never bothered getting it from the library. "
— Dianne, 11/24/2012" This was a good book in some ways. I loved the premise and the history in it was very interesting. I love history. I could still pick it apart, though. Except... I just realized I'm not in the mood to pick things apart, so I won't. "
— Brittany, 10/14/2012" This book started out well, couldn't wait to see who would end up with the bible next. The ending was a little weak. "
— Laurie, 10/1/2012" Loved it! It reminded me of the Red Violin and People of the Book. Where an object's life is traced through the history of its owners. "
— Vicky, 7/5/2012" i enjoyed this. i read it in a day, they really drew me into the puzzle. it went from the civil war virginia to oil wells in arabia in the 1980s. i'm probably going to send this on to my mom. "
— Myersorchard, 11/7/2011" We listened to this book and it was long (almost like two stories in one book) but we both enjoyed it and I especially liked the ending. "
— Helen, 10/18/2011" It was a wonderful read. I loved the lives the Bible touched as it when down through out history. The wars was pretty grusomely detailed, but other then that....a GREAT book. "
