Missing Pages

I was surprised and disappointed to open the book to start reading it and found that the first 36 pages were missing!

Outstanding!

I had to write a review after I read all the other posted reviews. I read this book as a sequel to the author's first book and simply thought it was fantastic. In fact, I just ordered the two-book set for a wonderful Christmas present for a friend. Don't hesitate to read this book - it is great!

I enjoyed this book . . .

I realize I'm going out on a limb here, since Trinity has come to mean so much to so many ( I know people who can quote from the book ) ( I also have a nephew named Conor ), but I really enjoyed this novel. I'm not of Irish decent and cannot relate to the events of either book. I feel the style of writing was very good. It flowed, at times like poetry. I do apologize to thos who have come to love Trinity. Replicating a novel of it's status is very difficult to do. Leon Uris is one of my favorite novelists.

Bravo!

I would like to congratulate Mr. Uris on a job well. I first read Trinity and it was an awesome book, then I read Redemption later. They were both as good. I don't think it is fair, however, to judge a book when comparing it to another great book. If there was no Trinity (God forbid), and the story from Redemption stood alone, it would also be considered great like its prequel.

Trinty/Redemption...What's the difference?

I read Trinity first and then Redemption- not a week later. I loved Trinity so much that I thought it was great to read it again, only a little different. Redemption lives up to Trinity because that's basically what it is. And when the new material comes in, it gets even better. 5 stars all the way. -Franky McGuire

There's nothing in this world like this!!!!!!!

I don't know what "Trinity" is about but from other reviews I can see that is has something to do with "Redemption". And this is really the greatest book I read during the last few years. I really felt in love with Ireland (and of course New Zealand), Conor and Rory. It was just unbelievable how written words can touch you so much. I loved it!
