      This is one of those books that you cannot put down. it is graphic and tense-not what i'd call a cozy read. it was a great version of what the details of the story of ester may have been. it was also very inspirational to me with regards to my relationship with my husband. i highly recommend it!
    • 5/5
      This is the most fasinating book I have ever read. Throughout the book I felt as if I was a part of the story, as if Hadassah was telling me the story, as if we were walking side-by-side throughout her daily life. I was very surprised that this book was written by a man since it is written from a woman's point of view but I guess that is what makes the story so phanominal. the book flowed together very well. I would give this book a five out of five in rating. An excellant story and an excellant novel. If there was only one book to read on the story of Esther this would be it.
    • 5/5
      This novel, based on the Biblical book of Esther, provides a gripping account of how Esther, a Jew, became Queen of Persia and ultimately saved the Jewish people from destruction. This thrilling adventure story begins with Esther as a child and the tragedy that shaped her. It provides an intriguing and sometimes shocking glimpse into palace life and customs. This is a riveting story and well worth reading!
    • 2/5
      While this story is framed as a Jewish one-- and it is based on the Book of Esther-- it's definitely written in a Christian format (for one, there's a lot of Christian-ish discussion of God as Father etc). There's a frame story involving Esther writing to a younger bride-candidate with her advice about her story and how to win the love of her bridegroom. Evangelical marriage-theory is entwined in the plot as well. Still, not entirely boring and not entirely a romance, so extra points for that.
    • 5/5
      What can I say! A story we have all heard a thousand times made new.

      It is often when examined from another direction or point of view that a story shares new insights and reaches new depths.

      Our author has done a wonderful job of that. Helping to bring the audience along for a new look at an old story. I could FEEL all the emotions, joy & pain, fear and relief, right along with Esther and Mordecai.

      Well done!!
    • 4/5
      Very enjoyable story. Though I actually like the movie version better ( unusual for me), it was still a good fictional work on one of my favorite women in the scriptures.
    • 5/5
      This book moved at an excellent pace. Attention to detail is amazing without getting boring. The images painted by this author were clear and precise. The story itself, old as time was told amazingly well. This is a first time reading this author, I will definitely read more!
