The Devil's Advocate Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Beautiful, a story of redemption. I cried at the end. "

" Deals with the idea of what constitutes a sinner or a saint in a fairly good way. Also delves into the whole idea of faith vs communism; can a social system made by man be perfect? (West emphatically answers no). The story of the loss of faith and then its rediscovery within a Roman Catholic framework. "

" Read it long time back, don't remember it well :( "

" Recently reread this after 10 years. And cried - the way Morris West always makes me cry. "

" An old-fashioned treatment of Catholic themes, good characters, moral issues, a page-turner at the end. "

" A beautiful book about Faith and the foibles of men. A book that asks you to look at your own faith and to accept that we are weak and imperfect; yet that we are also God's creations, and therefore, beautiful in His eyes. "

" A dying priest is sent to a small city to verify stories of someone reported to be worthy of sainthood. "

" Great Read. Consistently the best metaphors I have seen in one book. ras "

" Lovely view of the conflicts that happen within anyone who dedicates themselves to a profession so completely it becomes a way of life. Slow climb, excitement, and then... anticlimactic ending. Writing was dry but somehow compelling, and none of the characters were entirely fleshed out. "

" One of my favorite novels of all time! "

" Have read most of his books. Mystery usually centered around the Catholic Church. Always a twist. "

" A good read. Enjoyed the story, the plot, subplots and character development. A novel of hope and faith. "

" The copy I have says "Now a major motion picture!", but the story is entirely different than the movie plot. Its a pretty good story, but the end is kind of disappointing in my opinion. "

" This is one of those books where the author created some great characters that had very little to do. "

" I read West long ago, but he is still one of my favorite writers. Though his novels are often about the Catholic Church, they are for everyone and are gripping. He will also test your vocabulary. He has one of the best natural vocabularies I've ever seen. Nothing "dumbed down" here. "

" I have loved this book for many years and was delighted that Loyola Classics decided to reprint it. "

" This book was soo confusing and ridiculous and I hates it so much I can't believe my school made me read this I would rather eat glass than read this ever again amen "

" I found this book extremely interesting and hard to put down, but the ending was unsatisfying for me. "

" Absolutely brilliant characterisation and setting. Definitely going to read some more of his... "

" A good read. Enjoyed the story, the plot, subplots and character development. A novel of hope and faith. "

" This certainly wasn't the story i was expecting andi didn't feel the ending gave the reader the closure they needed. Good story but again not great "

" I found this book extremely interesting and hard to put down, but the ending was unsatisfying for me. "

" This is one of those books where the author created some great characters that had very little to do. "

" His time in Sicily was the best part... "

" Great! The best argument between Christianity and communism, belief and unbelief, theism and atheism ever written, in my opinion. It is all about the never-ending battle between good and evil. It will make a believer out of you. Dennis Lid "
