Great author having a bad day...
Go right ahead and put this book side by side with Exodus, or Trinity, and try to determine how the same author wrote both books... Where those were engaging, cleverly crafted, well-researched and written, A God in Ruins is simply awful.
Where to begin ? How about the characters. Quinn...

True Fiction

Et tu, Leon?

The reader gains insight into his character through a series of flashbacks which explain O'Connell's interesting history, beginning with his adoption into a... Read full review »
Interesting and Ironic
This is the first Uris book I have read, and I enjoyed it enough to move onto his other works.

"We the People..."
"A God in Ruins", while not all that difficult of a read from a technical standpoint, may well be deemed a nightmare by anyone uninitiated to a writing style such as that of Tom Clancy or Patrick Robinson. Though Uris has a markedly different writing style than the aforementioned overall, one... Read full review »
