3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of Wilbur Smith, Feb 7 2002

By	Ken YaleRalph (Canada) - See all my reviews

I'm only 18, but i've read River God and The Seventh Scroll, and i absolutely fell in love with them! But the Burning Shore just didn't do it for me... Centaine De Thiry is forced to live through the torchers of lonlinees, hunger, thirst and survival as she finds herself stranded in the namibian desert. She fights not only for her life, but for the life that her dead husband, Michael Courtney, has left inside her womb.

You will fall in love with Centaine... But Wilbur Smith decided to give the ending a dull and unhappy twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilbur A.Smith, Sep 30 2001

By	"maric6698" (Aloha, OR USA) - See all my reviews

I read all of Mr. Smith's books I can find. He is very
popular in Europe & Canada & has only in the past 5 yrs or so
been in the bookstores here. I would say that 95% of his
writings have been top quality reading for adventure, love stories & African history. And that's in each book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did I dream that, or did it really happen?, April 11 2001

By	Kristie Simmons (Long Beach, MS) - See all my reviews

How many times have we all asked ourself that? I am a huge collector of Wilbur Smith's novels and have read almost all of them. I am so intertwined in the life of the Courtney's that sometimes I catch myself not being able to realize that I am reading it not living it. I will describe this book like all the others, I can see his words. Everyone should read Wilbur Smith, he is captivating.
