- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found this to be a fairly moving book. There was a lot of well written emotion with realistic dialog. The flow from one set of characters to another (P.O.V. moves through about five different characters over 100 years) can be a little abrupt in changing at times. However, it doesn't through one out of the story. The dialog is well written and doesn't fall into the cheesy side that some contemporary Christian fiction stories fall into. The individual stories are exciting and enjoyable and the depths of each character is done well without being dragged out. My biggest complaint is that of the ending. The ending doesn't have that much fulfillment. It's not a story that needs an ending where the characters walk into the sunset, as the story is about a journey that never ends. However, the way it settles appears that the author didn't really know how to end it satisfyingly. Overall, a good, compelling story with interesting stories and characters with depth. A few moments of almost tears even. Final Grade - B
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Every once in a while, if the description sounds good enough, I will tackle an "inspirational fiction" title. Since I also love historical fiction, the story line of the Civil War on this title was enough to convince me to take the plunge. I'm glad I did.Skillfully jumping between 1980's California/Arizona, the Civil War South and early 20th century Egypt, the Bell Messenger tells the story of a bible, passed from the hands of a dying Civil War soldier to the current day American who is trying to trace its history. Other reviews have mentioned the many story lines, and while this is true, to me, it made the book all the more fascinating. Assumptions and foreshadowing in certain parts of the book are forcefully re-evaluated as new story lines develop. In my opinion, there is more than enough war, adventure, treasure and some surprisingly gruesome descriptions of the battlefields to counter balance the "inspirational" tag attached to the title. Yes, the bible and its implications carry significant weight in the narrative, but the message is mild and non-threatening enough for any reader.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the beginning, but as the book rambled on, it was bogged down by too many story lines, flashbacks, etc. It became cumbersome, then...poof...it was as if the authors though so, too, and rushed through the ending. Overall great concept, hurriedly executed.
