Book Review of People of the Book

People of the Book
Helpful Score: 1


i have just finished this book .....

i gave it 3 1/2 stars for one reason only . i am a book collector and ex- online book seller . i love books . i especiallt treasure old books . as a piece of fiction it is well written and i did learn a few things about book conservation . what i could have done without are the "choice words " that are occasionally being used and the frecquent descriptions of rape scences or even consented sex descriptions . this is jan 2013 .. this month is a "sexual sex slave awareness "month . in one police crackdown they found girls as young as 18 month being used by any man ... here in the USA ! yes , this was some part of history and the way things were done during war times . but do we need at least one sexual exploit in every chapter ???

because of this , i only gave this book 3 1/2 stars . i would love to see such a book without all the expletatives or the inuendos and discriptions . without these "extras" it would be a fun book to give to a teenager to show them what kind of jobs are out there ... as it goes , i would be ashamed to give this book to any of my kids ...
