Funny, irreverent but not irreligious book of Jesus Christ, from his early youth to his death and finally modern day St. Louis. A book I wish I had written.

Best writing about children in an American novel.

Exceptional book and so much more than the movie.

The first glimpse of the remarkable talent and the wonderful books to follow. In his time, this was often viewed as his best work.

Remarkable book. Is it sci-fi, satire or war story? It is all of these and more.

Remarkably, Dickens second novel. Although I like (The Pickwick Papers) this is such an advance on his first book. Amazing.

In my opinion, far and away the best book Verne ever wrote and one of the best sci-fi books ever written. I own several copies, including Heritage Press and Folio Society. If I read French, I'd try to own a first edition.

The finest American novel yet written. I own at least seven copies including a first edition, a Heritage Press, Folio Society, Easton Press and a couple of annotated volumes and the University of California version.
