          <body><![CDATA[Totally agree with Joan.  Because it was written in first person, and because Mariamne began young (which the author says is in her &quot;child's voice&quot;), half way through Mariamne was no child, and by the end she was a full brilliant grown woman with a broken heart.  My best guess is the reviewer didn't get that far.<br/><br/>And yes, reviews that are based on a person's religious beliefs are no reviews at all, unless they are honest about that, and explain what their problem is.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[To each his own, but as someone said in the discussions, if this was written by a teenager, that teenager was a genius.  <br/><br/>Wanted to add this in case no one sees it in the discussion.  The book was written in the first person, and because Mariamne began her story young (which the author says is in her &quot;child's voice&quot;), half way through Mariamne was no child.  By the end she was a fully grown and brilliant woman with a broken heart.  My best guess is the reviewer didn't get that far.  Ashley]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[It's not Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit, it just doesn't have that turn of foot.  But it's a damn good read and it almost makes it.  Dan Patch should not be forgotten and I welcome this effort to keep that from happening.  The author spent a lot of time researching his subject, and it shows.  ]]></body>
