5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, Sep 23 2003

Ce commentaire est de: Duncton Rising (Paperback)

Pick this book up and you will not be able to put it down. After you finish it, do not feel sad. No. Go out and get the others in the story line. Enough to fill the winter nights ahead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sigh..., Jan 24 2000

By	Carlien Smit (Pretoria, South Africa) - See all my reviews

Ce commentaire est de: Duncton Rising (Paperback)

It is sad that a writer as gifted as William Horwood chose to stoop to writing a series that depicts the Bible and Jesus Christ in such a way. In his first Duncton triology he has moles following the faith of "the Word" as his antagonists, in this book a mole is martyred and executed as Jesus Christ was. This book, like the others in the series, makes an excellent secular fantasy read - the plot is really captivating and the prose is excellently written. However, his plagiatism and blasphemy of the Bible is inexcusable - instead of creating a relevant faith for his moles he had to go and twist the Christian faith around. Other than this major blodge, this is a good read.
