An incredible literary piece.......2007-05-15
Alongside 'A beggar in Jerusalem', in my opinion, this is the author's finest book. It is a rare journey into a vital yet hauntingly esoteric perspective on existence. I truly agree with the other reviews suggesting that this work should not be viewed as belonging solely to the Holocaust genre. The interplay of plot and undertone alongside the sane and the insane allow the mind to soar - and falter.
Into the Woods.......2006-09-22
As with his other fiction, Elie Wiesel has crafted a story that encompasses the Jewish history of suffering, with the Holocaust central to the tale. What separates "The Gates of the Forest" from other
works is its very nature, which consists of a story told through other stories. The main character, known as Gregor and not by his real name, exists and survives merely through the stories that others tell
him and the ones that he re-enacts as he tries to find himself.
Gregor goes into hiding that he might not be captured and sent to the work camps. He is holed up in a cave when he encounters another Jew, one who escaped from the transport, known as Gavriel. Through stories,
Gavriel helps Gregor to understand what is actually happening in the outside world, and sacrifices his own life so that Gregor might live. Gregor then searches out an old family friend, who hides his identitity
from the town by crafting a tale that he is her mute nephew. Gregor serves as a confessor for the townspeople, until he is called upon to enact the role of Judas in the local passion play and the tables are
turned. He then takes refuge with a band of partisans hiding in the woods, at last able to seek justice for his captured friend. Each tale unfolds like a season of Gregor's life, told in flashback, with many
questions raised before answers are found. In the final chapter, the reader meets Gregor as an old man, still searching for the meaning of his life, still searching for his real name, at last able to recognize
the path he needs to follow.
"The Gates of the Forest" will be familiar territory to anyone who has read Elie Wiesel's fiction. He has concerned his literature with the sufferings of the Jewish people, of survivors who are haunted by their
past, by what they did or failed to do. His own experience in the concentration camps and surviving the Holocaust has been a wellspring of creativity for his fictional accounts. The tale of Gregor and those
he encounters is that of every Jew, is that of anyone who has been lost and found their way.
Another amazing book by Weisel.......2006-09-12
Since Elie Wiesel's original trilogy he's been the quintessential Holocaust writer. This is a mixed blessing, since Wiesel is not just a Holocaust survivor but also one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century, on par with Emmanuel Levinas. He has seen humanity at its worst and his love for G-d and the human race still runs through his writing.
This is a strange book about a nameless survivor running from place to place. He's haunted by a stranger who knows more than he's letting on. He takes a role as a deaf mute learning all the secrets that he never wanted to hear and he's both an observer and a victim of Europe. When the book ends the first thing you want to do is read it again. Much of it is confusing, but a lot of it is profound - and it just gets better on repeat readings.
A response to SOPHIA, and all the other Sophias out there.......2005-04-20
In response to Sophia's review - and for the benefit of those who might be misled by it - Wiesel's "Gates of the Forest" is powerful not because it is a story of the Holocaust, but because it is a story of Everyman. It is, at its core, a story of grappling with existence, yet without trying to label it as "the Absurd" (Camus), "Nausea" (Sartre), or "Dread" (Heidegger). Sophia, this is so much more than "just another Holocaust story," and I can't help but wonder if your zealous attempt to pigeonhole this incredible opus into that singular genre reflects a deeper fear you have of the themes of this book. After all, if this is "just another Holocaust story," you could explain away any bearing it might have on you as a person. But if it is more than that - and it IS MORE THAN THAT - then the book demands a reaction from you. To all the Sophias out there, this book is a life-changing read, but only if you are willing to live like someone who is alive. Your review saddens me, Sophia, but I am hopeful for you and others like you that one day you will wake up and decide to live deliberately. To those willing to think, this book is worth reading once a year, every year, for the rest of your life.
amazing read.......2004-04-23
I just want to say that this book was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who has a heart in this topic as well as people who just want to read. Also I just want to say that I am truly disappointed as to what Sophia from Salem, Oregon said about it. I though that I met all the ignorant people in this world, but Sophia from Salem is by far the worst of all of them. What you said Sophia is disgusting and I am sure that your priest did not encourage you to say that.

A perfectly charming and exciting time travel romance.......2005-11-28
Claire Peltier keeps having dreams of a man she doesn't know but who elicits emotions in her that make all other relationships she's ever had pale in comparison. As a result, Claire calls off her wedding because she feels it isn't fair to marry one man when her dreams are filled with another. Claire is haunted by these dreams and feels that it is important to solve the mystery of the man who keeps appearing in her dreams. Claire thinks that she may be reincarnated and the mystery man is from her past life. Also, Claire is occasionally visited by a ghost who never speaks a word. One evening, the ghost visits Claire but this time she dares to touch the ghost. The touch elicits a vision of a man kneeling in the center of a circle of inlaid stones on a flagstone floor. He raises his head and Claire sees that he is the man who haunts her dreams. The vision disappears but the ghost is still there. A magazine lifts itself from a rack and the pages are flipped and stop at a page containing a picture of a circle of inlaid stones on a flagstaff floor that looks exactly like the one in her vision. Above the picture is a caption: The Ancient Labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral, France.
The man who haunts her dreams is Aiden Delacroix. Aiden needs a wife so he can have an heir to the Delacroix Castle, but no woman in his time will accommodate his need because they believe the ghost of his former mistress haunts him and brings misfortune to everyone associated with him.
Claire takes a plane to France and visits the Chartres Cathedral with the hope of finding out who the mystery man of her dreams is. When visiting the cathedral, the ghost appears and leads Claire through the labyrinth. When Claire takes the last step into the center of the labyrinth she is unknowingly transported back in time to the year 1202 and finds herself standing in front of her mystery man as he is kneeling in the center of the labyrinth just as she had seen him in her vision. She reaches out to touch him and discovers that he is a real man, not the ethereal form she had always seen in her visions.
Throughout the story, Claire and Aiden try to determine why fate has brought them together from two different times and what is in store for them.
Sandra Landry has weaved a set of charming and exciting details into a suspenseful and mysterious tale that kept me guessing (and entertained) from the beginning of the book and right up to the last page.
Claire is a strong willed and independent young woman who knows what she wants and never settles for less. Aiden is a perfect hero. He is strong, an excellent swordsman, and has to rescue Claire on several occasions as she risks everything to determine the mystery of their fates. Aiden always treats Claire with the utmost of respect and is determined to get Claire to marry him. The sexual tension between the two keeps escalating until they can no longer resist and eventually yield to their desires.
The mechanism that transports Claire into the past is simple and not filled with boring scientific explanations. One of the many entertaining parts in The Last Bride is when Claire is transported to 1202. She isn't aware of her time travel and when she leaves the cathedral she wonders why there are no streetlights, why her hotel is not where it's supposed to be, and why her cell phone won't work. Then Claire finds herself the cause of a sword fight between Aiden and drunks in an inn who had accosted Claire. Later, Claire realizes that Aiden is not the reincarnated man from her past but is the man himself.
Sandra Landry has written a perfectly charming, exciting and believable time travel romance. I enjoyed the read so much that I can't wait for another tale. The Last Bride is a great and entertaining read and I highly recommend it.
Too many loose ends.......2005-09-30
This was the worst time travel romance that I have ever read. I had to force myself to finish it. Don't waste your money.
Ghosts + Reincarnation +Time Travel = Solid Entertainment.......2005-09-21
In modern day New Orleans, Claire Peltier has just tossed aside a perfectly good fiancé - a man who loved her, treated her very well, but whom she just couldn't feel the passion that she knew deep in her soul belonged to the man who haunted her dreams. Along with being haunted by dreams, Claire was also visited rather regularly by a ghost. Only now the ghost seemed to be giving Claire clues that would send her on a journey to unlock the visions from her dreams. Traveling to France, Claire followed her instincts and her ghost, and found herself transported back to the Middle Ages where she came face to face with the man of her dreams.
Aiden Delacroix was a lonely tortured man. His sense of loss over the death of his mistress and wife that were attributed to the hauntings of a vengeful ghost had left its mark. With no wife or heir, and no woman even considering marriage to him; his fight to pass on his families' legacy would be for naught, as he would surely lose his lands to his enemy. As a last resort, Aidan went on a pilgrimage to a sacred shrine where there appeared before him a woman so beautiful Aiden impulsively proposed marriage.
While Claire recognized Aiden as the man of her dreams, his very touch brought a vision of such heartache that she refused his offer. Then again, she wasn't quite cognizant that she'd been transported back in time, and thought him a bit crazy. When it did finally dawn on her that she wasn't in her modern time, she agreed to let him help her. Soon after she would realize that she'd been brought back not only to answer questions regarding her own mysterious longings, but to right a wrong and regain a love that was meant to be.
*** This was a full-bodied, fully satisfying tale of time travel, reincarnation, and a heady romance all rolled into one totally mesmerizing read that will capture you from the very first pages. Claire and Aiden were extremely well-drawn. Aiden was wonderful, even though he sensed that Claire was different -- his acceptance, kindness and gentle ways were the stuff dreams are made of - in essence a perfect hero! In this second chance at a love that was meant to be that transcended all time, Landry pulled out all the stops and presented her readers with a perfectly wonderful read. Highly recommended! --- Marilyn, for [...] ---
The exception that proves the rule.......2005-09-20
Normally, I get irritated with romances containing ghosts and/or reincarnation, but that wasn't the case with The Last Bride. It's got ghosts. It's got reincarnation. And the time-travel ties them together. But it works. The ghosts & reincarnation are PART OF THE STORY. And it doesn't go off on long boring tangents about something that happened to some dead people who nobody cares about because they were thoroughly unlikeable. Er. Speaking of tangents. Anyway.
Claire calls off her engagement because of the man who haunts her dreams, and then follows a ghost's clues to a labyrinth in France, where she ends up in the past, and meets Aiden, the man from her dreams, who's gone on a pilgrimage to the labyrinth to ask for guidance in dealing with his own ghost.
The good:
Claire's reaction to the time travel was great--very realistic.
All the paranormal elements are integral to the plot.
Aiden is a great tortured hero--everyone, including Aiden, believes that his wife had been killed by the ghost of his mistress, who'd killed herself rather than live without him, yet his concern for his people makes him want to find a wife to give him an heir, even though he doesn't feel he deserves it.
The bad:
A couple of threads were left dangling at the end, that should have been wrapped up.
The verdict:
A paranormal, time-travel romance that's entertaining and believable.
Enjoyable...but.......2005-09-19
At the end of this book I did not have the "WOW"! feeling that I had after reading 'The Wishing Chalice', (Ms. Landry's second book). There were a few loose ends - not the least of which was the issue of Nick (Claire's brother in our time) being left with no clue as to what happened to his sister after her impulsive dash to France, and subsequent disappearance from the face of the Earth (our time) - iron box of possessions notwithstanding. I mean, what are the chances that said box would find its way to Nick in the 21st century???). Then, there is the issue of Claire being barren, which in the Middle Ages is a sure ticket to spinsterhood, or worst, being 'done away with' by a disappointed husband. I felt that Aiden was cheated in this - being that that was the whole reason behind his urgent (and emotionally painful) quest for a wife. I'm still confused about the ghosts angle - why guide Claire all the way back in time to Aiden, and then try and kill her?? Was Claire's childhood ghost Cherise? Or Meridith? The description is that of Cherise (confirmed by Aiden), yet we're told later on that it was in fact Meridith. In the Epilogue, Jasper reappears - no explanation as to where he had hie himself off to, or how he survived after leaving Delacroix castle. So, although I enjoyed it (I thought Aiden made a great hero: brave, kind, patient, sexy, and vulnerable; he'd been through a terrible 10 years of scorn and ridicule by everyone - totally unfounded!). I liked Clair's physical description; being a big girl myself ( five-ten with bones to match!), I've had my fill of the petite child-brides that some female writers of romance (and some other genre) seem to think are so appealing to us readers. All in all a good read - Ms. Landry weaves a good story, and there's enough to snag and keep your interest if you don't look too closely at the details. I'm on the hunt for Ms Landry's first book (2000) ('A Perfect Love').
Customer Reviews:
Great overall series, but not such a great ending.......2006-07-24
I've really enjoyed reading Roberts' Landry Brothers series, and I was looking forward to this last book. And while I did enjoy reading it, liked the characters and romance, I had serious issues with the plot. The issues can probably be easily overlooked by someone who does a casual read of the book, but if you're one who really gets into the plot, likes to dissect it and put together all of the pieces, you'll notice that there are things that just don't make sense. There are details and twists with the plot that don't fit together, things that just don't match. It really takes away from the believability of the story and overall enjoyment. At least from the standpoint of someone who likes a strong, logical plot. It just seemed as though Roberts didn't plan very well or make sure her twists fit what she'd already written.
Bottomline - good continuity of the series, good characters and romance, but subpar plot.
Excellent ending to a great series.......2006-03-27
I'm only sorry she ran out of brothers. The Landrys were great heros and they all got great heroines!

It's a love story! First for trains, then for her..........2006-02-10
This love story is about a man who goes to Tucson to drive a train. He's a CPA, so he has to go into an Alternate Reality - it's in 1954. He loves trains, but ends up stuck - and meets HER. It's a love story, moves right along, and is neatly resolved. So don't read ahead.

Book Description
In 1998, the first edition of Codex Derynianus was published in a limited edition that quickly became astronomically expensive. Now fans can have the entire text of that edition along with extensive new material. This encyclopedic overview details Katherine Kurtz's Deryni world, the setting of her 17-book saga that began with Camber of Culdi. and reveals many never-before-told details of the people, places, and objects of importance to the world of the magic-wielding Deryni. The book is packed with chronologies of events, genealogies of the peoples, and colorful maps of the Deryni world, exploring every aspect of the Eleven Kingdoms. In addition to being an authoritative reference, Codex Derynianus is also an ambitious work of creative fiction as penned by Brother Theophilus from within the setting of the Eleven Kingdoms, providing original stories, vignettes, humorous pieces, serials, and poems that expand and enrich the Deryni universe.

Encyclopedia of the Deryni series.......2007-07-30
Not a novel, this book offers information on every character, location and other feature you could possibly want to know about the Deryni universe. Includes references for the short stories as well as the novels. If it's been a while since you've read part of the series and you don't want to get lost in the context the next time you start one, try this guide, it'll help.
This book is perhaps best suited for the longtime fan, who owns or has read most of the novels. New fans might enjoy trying one of the regular books first.
An Encyclopedia of all things Deryni.......2006-10-09
I had been looking for Codex Derynianus since the first edition was released in 1998. At that time it was a limited edition that quickly sold and second hand copies were extremely expensive and frequently over one hundred dollars. No library carried it. The book is some sort of guidebook / history / encyclopedia of the Eleven Kingdoms in Katherine Kurtz's Deryni Universe. It has been one of my favorite fantasy series for some time, though I far prefer the novels set earlier in the chronology. The world itself is ours, though a thousand years ago. It has the same religious backgrounds, but there is a race with the ability to do magic called the Deryni. The church has persecuted them mightily and there is much to do with the kingdom of a land called Gwynedd, which is located where our England is. It's a brutal fantasy series, but is fantastically written.
When Katherine Kurtz released a second edition of her Codex Derynianus I was finally able to locate a copy through my local library and I found out what the book really is. This is essentially an encyclopedia of her created world with entries on every single character that appears, every location mentioned or visited, and every kingdom and ruler. These entries are written in a form as if someone 1130 wrote the entries and his personal opinions (not those of Kurtz, but the fictional character) come through, especially when writing about the Deryni persecutions of the past and Hubert MacInnis.
There is also a timeline of the Eleven Kingdoms which gets into a good amount of detail when covering the events of the novels. It is this timeline that finally gives us hints of what went on in the year 948. I bring this up because that is the single year that has interested me the most in this series. It is 20 years after The Bastard Prince and is not covered in any novel, but Kurtz includes genealogies at the back of her novels and quite a few of the major characters presented in her books all die in 948. This is not likely a coincidence. Kurtz is at her best when she is the most brutal to her characters, so I imagine that when she gets around to writing the 948 book, it'll be a very good one. The timeline gives some coverage to what happened in 948, but I doubt that it tells the whole story.
So, Codex Derynianus is a good resource for those looking for background and reminders on the characters, events, and locations of the Deryni novels of Katherine Kurtz. It is clearly not a novel and thus not truly an exciting read. It's a fantasy resource for the work of one author. In that sense it is excellent, but for the average reader of fantasy I can't recommend it.

Good, but not quite up to Hype.......2005-12-05
As a dedicated reader of the Deryni books, I have been looking for a copy of this book -- the Holy Grail of the Deryni world -- for years. I was therefore very excited to find a new edition at my local bookstore. Now, don't get me wrong -- I enjoyed this book, which contains a lot of interesting information about the Eleven Kingdoms...although most of the "new" information seems to be about Torenth and Ms. Kurtz's versions of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. But ignore the hyped descriptions of what this book is: it is primarily an A-Z encyclopedia of characters, places etc. in the books. The genealogies did not reveal much more than what is in the books, and frankly the maps were, IMHO, better in the books.
Worst amongst the misleading description found on the book (and in most professional reviews) is the claim that the book "is also an ambitious work of creative fiction as penned by Brother Theophilus from within the setting of the Eleven Kingdoms, providing original stories, vignettes, humorous pieces, serials, and poems that expand and enrich the Deryni universe." I'm not really sure where this was supposed to be. The "Brother Theophilus" material appears to be a relatively short prologue and epilogue. Amongst the enclopedia entries there are a couple lengthy entries that take the form of travelogues -- but they usually describe very minor characters or locations, which I found less interesting than they could have been.
The bottom line is that this is a good enclopedic listing of the characters and, to a lesser degree, the places of the Deryni Universe, but I would not buy it if you are looking for more than that.

This is the book that if you're a fan of the Deryni..........2001-02-06
So it came out suddenly. So it vanished even more quickly, devoured and hoarded by eager fans. It's worth it, look for it when it comes out in paper (oh speed the day!). Herein you will find tantilizing hints, clues and nibbles that make even more of the novels seem that much more elusive and alluring. Trivia, puns, hidden clues and more await those not put off by the encyclopediac listings and beautifully detailed maps. A Baedeker for the Eleven Kingdoms...
The Codex Derynianus is the Sine Qua Non of Deryni fandom........1999-11-04
The Codex Derynianus is an encyclopedic guide to the world of the Deryni and the XI Kingdoms, but it is far more than that. It is funny, informative, and gives Deryni fans important information about the Kingdom of Torenth and the Royal House of Furstan that has not been brought to light before. Ditto with Meara, the Forcinn states and the lands to the South and East of Gwynedd proper. I feel extraordinarily fortunate to own a copy.
A MUST for any traveller to the XI Kingdoms.......1998-10-31
This book is THE guide for the traveller in the XI Kingdoms. If one has read all the other books with the Deryni Canon. Codex is a required addition to the library.

Codex is a valuable resource into the world of the Deryni. It's measures of dates, places and peoples provide all the necessary means in which to fully become part of the ongoing Saga of the Deryni. I will never be without it.

knowledge of the old ways.......2007-06-12
For those who have read Fools Crow by Thomas E Mails should follow up with this book. If you have not read it I would sertainly do so as a companian to this book. Timeless Wisdom from the Old Lakota Holy Man that anyone can bennefit from the power of these teachings.
Superior insight .......2007-04-11
For a person interested in American Indian Medicine People, this Book, and it's companion book - Fools Crow, ISBN 0-8032-8174-9, will
read a Treasure of insight, clarity, simplicity & wonder. This reviewer has been reading books on this subject for more than 40 years, and these 2 books are the true Treasures of this world view. Fools Crow is a magnificant.
inconsistent and somewhat hard to believe.......2007-03-15
Fools Crow Wisdom and Power is interesting in that the memoir is an account of a Sioux "holy" man. Yet, Fools Crow's holiness is not consistent. He has some good ideas about general spirituality but this is more of a plea for the Native American movement.
I read it for a graduate class in religion but was disappointed.
Everyone Should have this book.......2006-12-13
A great man, a great vision. An example to every human being who walks upon our Mother Earth. One that should be followed in every aspect of life. If only there were more like this man what a better world we would live in. Inspiring, encouraging. What more can I say than this is a MUST have on your bookshelf.
a master's methods.......2003-06-27
thomas mails' honesty and humility in recognition of the potent and vibrant personality of fool's crow allows him to become a nearly transparent medium for this account of a shaman's personal methods and rituals.
at their most effecftive, shamanistic rituals use p[hysical symbols to trigger and continue cycles of effect and reaction between the individual practitioner and the world-system as a whole. this book doesn't go into great depth in presenting the fundamental metaphysic of the native american heritage that fool's crow continued, but provides a rich and meticulously detailed account of demonstrations of its practice by a healer, teacher and leader.
this book may tempt immitators and pretenders; they might find themselves playing with fire. this volume should not be taken as a single source outside of the greater context of the heritage it celebrates and partially describes, but it can be a valuable supplementary resource for a careful student, or the agile and humble explorer.
