Excellent author	Customer Rating:
I have read almost all of her books and I have enjoyed each and every one. This book did not disappoint me. It was much better than the movie.

Such a Moving Book

Customer Rating:

This is the first Francine Rivers book I have read. From the very beginning I could hardly put the book down. The book so explores so many feelings that I am sure we all have had at one time or another (joy, guilt, sorrow, longing, fear, pain, happiness, friendship, love, a sense of not belonging, acceptance, etc.). In parts of the book my heart would ache for Cady and Fagan. But the thing that touched me most was the true compassion that Cady, a 10 year old, could feel for the pain of others as if she were experiencing that pain herself. I, too, was brought to tears as I read some areas of the book. At times I felt as if my heart would burst as I thought about my own experience with the Lord and the ever abidding love God has for me. In the end Francine wrapped the entire story up in such a beautiful and warm "bundle".

Not her best work

Customer Rating:

I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of Francine Rivers, but this novel left me wanting. The plot moves painfully slowly with very little explanation of customs or character. It really was just painful for me to read, though I had to finish just to see if it got better...it didn't. There are a few minor characters who make it more interesting, but generally, I would say don't waste your time on this one.

Filled with twists

Customer Rating:

This book was an assignment in a book review with some lady friends. I found it to be intriguing with twists and uncertainties. The setting in the appallacian mts was quaint with dialect from the late 1800s and the superstitions of the community. Christ's death for the sin of man is the message in this story of a conflicted little girl and her search for the sin eater. I have loaned my copy out to 5 friends and they all enjoyed the book.

The Last Sin Eater

Customer Rating:

I loved this movie; of course, the book is even better. Nevertheless, this is a stirring movie that will leave you crying both tears of relief and joy in the end as misunderstandings are finally made clear. Basically, a daughter is reunited with her estranged mother through a series of events. All I can is that you've got to watch this movie. By the way, the beginning is a little confusing, but it will all make sense at the end. Or, if you read the book you'll understand exactly what's happening at the beginning of the movie.
