Customer Reviews

a fun, thought-provoking novel

Kaye has written a fun, thought-provoking novel. The lost dialogues of Aristotle are one of the greatest scholarly mysteries of all time, and BLACK MARKET TRUTH delivers a highly entertaining rationale for their disappearance. It's a real page-turner. I'm usually a pretty slow reader, but I whipped through in no time. Now I have to wait a year for the sequel.

Intelligent and fun! Couldn't put it down!

This book was outstanding, with a compelling and intelligent plot. I could not put it down, beginning on a Friday and finishing by Sunday. It was that good! Through created "lost dialogues", Kaye brings Aristotle to life and lets the reader into the philosophical world (in a user-friendly way). Tying together current events and historical events in a believable and intriguing storyline, this book is both fun and academic at the same time--I highly recommend it!

A Must Read for Everyone!

I absolutely loved this book! Once I started reading it, I could not put it down! I thought I might be a bit overwhelmed due to the philosophy involved but that was absolutely not the case and I found myself looking forward to the sections that explained Aristotle's "lost diaglogues". This book is a must read for anyone who loves a good story full of intrigue and suspense.
