Customer Reviews

Moving and inspriational

After the death of a close relative I had been searching for a book that would help me through the healing process. I had read several books but none of them seemed to do the trick. Then I stumbled upon Sacred Ashes. Even though it is a thriller and a work of fiction this book has been the only one that has truly inspired me and helped me to start the healing process.Ms. Dost writing style is so effortless to read and her characters are so moving especially the character of Jonathan.If you are looking for a fast paced thriller just for enjoyment I recommend this book. If you are struggling with life I HIGHLY urge you to get this book today and start reading it now!

Outstanding Read!

This book was one of the best I have ever read! The "Left Behind" series "Left me Cold" but NOT "Sacred Ashes". There was feeling of truth to this story and it got me wondering, "what if this really did happen, what would we do, what would he have to say to us?" Could Elizabeth G. Dost have proposed a plausable answer?Buy it, read it, think about it and talk about it.

Thought Provoking!

Sacred Ashes gives its readers lots to think about - what an interesting idea! Book clubs could spend lots of time discussing this one. Dost's writing flows so smoothly, the novel can be enjoyed at many levels. Anyone could pick this up and be grabbed by it in some way. The local settings of Boston and the Cape were an extra bonus. Read it for the settings, read it for the plot, read it for the colorful characters, JUST READ IT!

Summer Sizzler

This book is perfect for those hot summer days at the beach. It is a fast paced and exciting read that will keep you roasting in your Chaise lounge. I loved every minute of this thriller as it kept me turning over and over, all the while thirsting for more.Ms Dost is a talented and entertaining writer and I look forward to her next work.

Highly recommended

You know you've read an excellent book when the only difficulty in writing a review is keeping yourself from revealing major plot points. Limiting myself to very general terms, however, I can only agree with the previous reviews in saying that this book is fascinating; the concept alone provokes discussion. The author deals deftly and delicately with the religious implications of cloning (see? giving away plot points already, but I promise I'll stop there) while managing to avoid the temptation to adopt a preachy tone. She keeps ethical considerations and dramatic development in a balance that engages the reader until the end. Too much modern fiction strives for style as opposed to substance; usually, it achieves neither. "Sacred Ashes" is a rare exception.
