Customer Reviews

I have never read a book like this one

Esther: The STAR and the SCEPTRE was an intriguing book about a young Jewish girl who was favored by the king over all his concubine, but the question is Why was it such a big deal for Esther to go before the king without him calling her first? Then, I wonder how Esther felt about going to the king's bed without benefits of marriage consedering her strict upbringing as a Jewish girl.

Enjoyment

Ii've enjoyed this book ever since I read it in third grade. One of the best things is that, no matter how many times I read it, I still find a new insight or learn new history. It's well-written and fast-paced. If you can ever get ahold of a copy, it's well worth the time and the money.
