5.0 out of 5 stars #1 book in my collection, Dec 29 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Green King (Paperback)

i read The Green King in its Russian translation 12 years ago and it remains my most favorite book... i still keep it and it is much beaten up by now... i can definetely say that the power of this Sulitzer musterpiece was a major factor in shaping my adolesent character... now i am grown up and unfortunately find it impossible to have a strong figure in my life who i would want to be like, but there is something in The Green King that will make you either rediscover the feeling or help find it for a first time....

5.0 out of 5 stars A great thriller of survival and ambition, July 14 2001

By	Michael Green "mrclay2000" (OKLAHOMA CITY, OK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: GREEN KING (Mass Market Paperback)

Rescued from a concentration camp, the young survivor Reb Michael Klimrod works his way to America, where along the way, he takes vengeance on his former Nazi persecutors, and continues his education of survival in the brutal conditions of the Amazon.

His rise from rags to riches is a credible panorama of sense, perseverance and courage. While Sulitzer too commonly weighs his books with sexual content, its appearance here finds perfect harmony in the physical and spiritual power of wealth among its several characters, as a vital component of Klimrod's sheer will.

A human book as well, with Klimrod's struggle with his emotions, his ambitions, his beliefs and his dreams, all are quite human in their embrace.

This book satisfies on a number of levels. An excellent read, a great translation, and a considerable testimonial of human effort. 5 stars is only an understatement - a wonderful book.

If you own a copy of this book, you'd never loan it to others for fear of never seeing it again and if you do, you probably won't. Read more
