Can't Wait to Read His Next Book!
Rating:
5 / 5
First of all I really liked the book! It kept my attention throughout, and when I couldn't read, I was hoping to get back to it soon. I never thought much about the difference between "sin" and "evil". This book has made me think about that. Sins come in all sizes and shapes and severity. But EVIL is something different all together. It can be alive; it can be dormant - waiting. It lurks. It is HUGE. You can't conquer evil; you can only squelch it or try to. And you have to do it over and over. Anson is the realist. Anson also represents GOOD to me. I thought it was interesting that Howard had no last name. Why? My own thoughts on that are that evil is bigger than a name or single identification. It would be like giving the Devil a last name. "Devil Smith," Howard Smith! Again, really really enjoyed the book. Can't wait for the next J. W. Kerr book!
Some Evil is Beyond Rehabilitation
Rating:
5 / 5
By Lois Scott in The Victoria Advocate (March 24, 2000) Lust, greed and addiction are vices that drive most people to a life of crime. Many believe that these sins alone and the criminals that commit them can be forgiven because they represent human flaws that can be fixed. Some acts however are so horrific and the criminals who commit them are so far beyond rehabilitiation it defies our institutions and our reasoning. This novel exmaines murder and violence without remorse and takes the reader into the overlooked mythic struggles that play out in a search for justice. Thus, the evil nature of crime is at the center of this novel.
