A real page turner! Exceptional writing.
This is a very engrossing book and one I could not put down until I finished it. I normally do not like to read any book written in dialect. In fact, I will quite often go out of my way NOT to read them. I find they tend to slow down the read for me because I mentally ...

Alfred McBride
Our Sunday Visitor, 1996
A Great Post-Confirmation/ Post RCIA text
I agree that this is designed with teens in mind, but also with adults who may be hesitant to pick up the thicker volume of the most recent Catechism. This is real life, with real life examples of partial truths being clarified by precise, yet down to earth answers and ...

Wayne Lusvardi rating seems to be based on his disagreement with Jill's philosophy, and is not a review of the book itself. He is more concerned about the loss of his property values than with the squalor that the poor and lower middle class experience. He blames ...
