  After reading a book review, I was excited to start reading this book. Again I found myself disappointed and wondering if my disappointment was due to overly high expectations or the quality of the writing. Unfortunately I think it was the latter. The book lacked substance.

  Wow, this book has it all. A truly engrossing book full of war, deceit, adventure, love, murder...and the list goes on. If the reader doesn't mind the use of old English, this book is for you. I couldn't put it down!

  This book, although fiction, provides tremendous insight into the psychology of loss and grief as well as it's resultant behaviours. At times I was amazed by Ms. Kallos ability to not only draw those connections but so credibly weave them into this novel.

  This is a heartbreaking work exploring the many facets of the human condition. Love, hate, intolerance, ignorance, prejudice, violence...it has it all and manages to engage the reader right to the end. Loved it!

  This is an exceptional novel and one that proves both emotionally and intellectually provocative. I was so moved by Ms. Gibbs writing and so utterly drawn into the lives of her characters that after reading this book I felt compelled to explore the recent history of Ethiopia. This is definitely a must read.

  This book was very difficult to read in that it evoked such a disturbing response. To imagine the impossible choices made and the resultant outcomes suffered by these men is painful. This account is extremely well written.

  I can't quite make up my mind about this book. While I was intrigued by his inclusion of factual data about the physiology of aging, I was disappointed by his inability to tie in the physical decline of his 97 yr. old father. At times the book seemed disjoint and incongruous. Too bad as it could have been brilliant.

  This is an amazing first novel. I enjoyed every word. Ms. Kelly uses the english language masterfully. I found the humour somewhat reminiscent of "Angela Ashes"...rather dark.

  I did finish this book although at times I admit to struggling with boredom. I was impressed by the idea behind the book and was quite excited by the reviews, perhaps too much so as I found that my expectations were not met.

  This book's message haunted me relentlessly. The fact that life can be changed irrevocably within seconds was so powerfully portrayed by Hamilton that I found it almost crippling. If a book can leave you emotionally unbalanced, it is definitely well written.
