Search - The Book of Ruth

Throughout this book, the narrator hints at a big event. She teases it, dances around it, and keeps us wondering. But personally, I found the "event" unsurprising, over-written, and frankly, disappointing. If you like a straightforward read, skip over "The Book of Ruth."

This was a terrific book. I could not put it down. Wonderful must read.

Excellent book,tells the story as if sitting down for coffee together.Enjoy this.

I expected a little more. It is a great idea and the characters are very interesting. However, as a whole, the book wasn't very engaging and the plot dragged. On a whole, I'd rate it "average."

Good characterization keeps you turning the pages but a melodramatic, cliched ending keeps the book from having much impact. I really like the 1st half of this book, the 2nd half, not so much.

Very good book which shows a girls struggle to grow up and survive in a troubled disjointed family. She goes through many trials and tribulations but there is hope at the end of the story.
