5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Plot, 7 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning Road: A Novel (Hardcover)
I read about this book through an on-line review and thought that the plot of the story was unique -- weaving the 1300s and future 2007. I was not disappointed. At times I found the characters aluding to things that I didn't understand -- maybe my answer is in the first of the series which I recently purchased. Characters are not superficial -- you get to know them.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down - this is a first- rate thriller!, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning Road: A Novel (Hardcover)
This sequel to The Plague Tales is as much of a good read as was its' predecessor! While I wish it had been a bit more uplifting it was true to the realities of it's times. The uncertain ending leaves things open for a third book that could perhaps follow the lives of the new members of Janie's and Alejandros' families! I look forward to another sequel. Keep up the good work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Keeps you reading, but it could be better..., 9 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning Road: A Novel (Hardcover)
The book is good, keeps you reading and interested in what is going to happend, but if you read the first one you'll find too many references to "The Plague Tales". I thought this was anoying sometimes... (maybe I was too impatient).

And be prepared to buy a third one, because the story is not concluded... too many things to be worried about.

I certainly would buy a third part, but I would be dissapointed if it does not contains some conclussions and less references.
