Reviews for Faith
8 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Trashy, more than just the language. It became difficult to care with all the F-words. A priest is accused of molesting a boy. This story is how the priest's family reacted as well as the priest. Just a waste of time, inexcusably.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Seventh in the Samson series with Bernard coping - just - with office politics and difficult personal relationships while still turning up as Man of Action. Just as well that he still has reliable Werner to talk to.My only grouse is Deighton's assertion that each book is a stand-alone work. You really do need to know what is going on before you start and I doubt that many readers wouldn't want to know what happens next.
