Customer Reviews

Let me reiterate.. I HATE this book

How could you? How could you take such an awesome title and lace it with evil, mind-bending, homocidic confusion?! This book's got me making up words. Here's the rundown. Okay, here we go:^M


The Book of Ruth read from a philosophical perspective

I noticed that this book had an average rating of 3.5 stars and I couldn't believe it! This amazing novel is jam-packed with philosophical undertones delivered to the reader through eloquent lyricism and a unique voice pleading to be heard. This novel wasn't just a static read. It was very complex and involving - demanding the reader participate via an internal philosophical debate. Engaging and entertaining... I couldn't put it down and still think of Ruth's dynamic character over 10 years after reading the novel. If you haven't read it, please do! I encourage you to question Ruth's character constantly. I re-read this book in college for a philosophy class and the class discussion was very lively. Treat yourself to a deeply moving read and a woman you'll never forget.


Waste of Time

This book was the biggest waste of my time. I'm not sure why I kept reading it, I guess I was waiting for it to get better. I thought the ending didn't fit at all. Don't waste your time, unless you have lots of time, then I recommend doing something else besides read this book.^M
