Atticus: Novel, A
Ron Hansen

Harper Perennial, 1997

Atticus: An Insightful and Interesting Novel
When I began reading Atticus I didn't realize I was going to be reading a mystery novel. If I had known it was a mystery novel I probably would have put the book back down. Atticus starts off rather slow with a bit too much detail about characters who have little ...

Ron LeGrand

Kaplan Business, 2004

Here is the truth!
Ok, there are people on here rating this book 1 star because of the author trying to sell his course. I'll tell you what, if all you do is take out a big black pen and go through the book and mark a big x over each of the pages that are testimonials trying to get you ...

Glimpses of passion, of ecstasy
"Mariette in Ecstasy" is a work of passion, a work of ecstasy, of faith, of doubt, of commitment, of agape love, the Devil, the sublime. Mariette Baptiste becomes a postulate in the Convent of the Sisters of the Crucifixion in New York in the early 1900's. Her ...
  
  











  



  
A Stay Against Confusion: Essays on Faith and Fiction
Ron Hansen

Harper Perennial, 2002

Lovely essays
I have always enjoyed Hansen's books, his unique style. This collection of essays was a treat. As I read each one, I thought it was so remarkable, and then I would read the next essay and like it even more. I especially liked the one about his mentor, John Gardner, ...
  
  











  



  
Desperadoes
Ron Hansen

Harper Perennial, 1997

Cinematic, smell-the-horses writing style
Desperadoes is a fictionalized account of the exploits of the Dalton gang, but it reads like the truth. Ron Hansen breathes life into these characters. Hansen's cinematic style put me in the moment. I could smell the nervous horses as Grat crept among them at night, ...
  
  











  



  
You've Got to Read This: Contemporary American Writers Introduce Stories that Held Them in Awe

Harper Perennial, 1994

Reading Writer's Writers
Architects and contractors can usually spot a good house; engineers and mechanics know good cars. So too with stories. Want to read some good ones? Ask the people that create them. This concept makes sense to me and I don't think you'll be disappointed. I did not ...

Ron Hansen

Harper Perennial, 2007

What A Great Read!
Look, I don't know how much of the "novel" THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD is true; I don't know how much of the dialogue and interaction and actions of the characters actually took place, or were embellished by a very gifted Ron Hansen. ...

Can You Drink the Cup?
Henri J. M. Nouwen

Ave Maria Press, 2006

Can you Drink the Cup
This was the best book I have read by Henri Nouwen. It is a book every Christian should read and ask the question "Can I Drink the Cup?" I will read and reread this book and mail several to my family and friends.

Jim Shepard

A perfect novel!
With stunning insight, Shepard creates a fictional history of the great filmmaker locating the roots of his mature genius in the forbidden passions of adolescence and young adulthood. One of the most compelling windows into artistic obsession and its erotic impetus I ...
  
  











  



  
Hitler's Niece: A Novel
Ron Hansen

Harper Perennial, 2000

This is one SICK book..........
.....but then the subject was pretty sick. I bought this after reading Hansen's treatment of Jesse James. Jesse killed his dozen; Hitler his.... And Jesse did have a few redeeming qualities; Hitler's only good quality was that he liked Wagner. This book is MUCH more ...
