A Bible study group possibly would rate this book highly, and deservedly so. It raises interesting questions about the motivation of Judas, questions that lend themselves to informed discussion. For the individual reader, however, there is little of substance as historical information is lacking and one sided philosophical debates are futile.(less)

Usually, I like to start series with the first book. In this instance, however, I'm glad I started with a later, stronger book One Was a Soldier. The protagonist defends herself as a fast decision maker but sometimes displays, to my mind, an irritating TSTL character.(less)

I found it difficult to pick up this book because of my perception of the Lindberghs--Charles and Anne--as enthralled with Hitler. The focus is Anne, although Benjamin admits to Charles being a dominant character in the book, as in life where Charles purposefully grooms Anne as his perfect wife. Benjamin seems to suggest that Charles' celebrity convinced him of his duty to use his position, notwithstanding his political naivete, whereby Hitler's Germany was attractive, and to separate Charles' rigidity, belief in eugenics, cruelty, and other flaws such as the treatment of his wife and many legitimate and illegitimate children from his political stance. Without doubt, the man's ability to function at all, much less to make his scientific contributions, is amazing given the catastrophic effects that the kidnapping and murder of his first born son must have had on a man as emotionally stunted as Charles. Still, those events seem to me to reinforce Charles' natural inclination. Furthermore, Charles was the son of a Congressman, and Anne the daughter of an Ambassador and US Senator, hardly the bases for political naivete. In short, The Aviator's Wife is lyrical, so worth reading, but the Lindberghs don't improve with knowledge.(less)

Aside from The Good Earth, I was more familiar with Buck's efforts in Korea, so Spurling's book was informative. Spurling, however, seems critical of Buck's father and first husband, for their remoteness and obsession with their jobs, and of her second husband's perceived abandonment through an incapacitating stroke. My sympathies abound for Buck's husbands and children. Buck seems to have withdrawn into herself, at an early age, in classic PTSD fashion and, in later life, from reality altogether. Only one of her adopted children is quoted but the description of Buck's reserve raises questions about Buck's own emotional engagement and the cost to her family from the imagination that underlay her writing.(less)
