It's ok.......2003-12-23

This book is good. It's interesting to see how Manuel Puig integrates elements from films into this book. The movie is really really really bad. Do not watch it. The book is an ok read

Great book. It changed some of my perceptions........2002-07-08

I used to be a little prejudiced, but after reading this book I decided to stop being judgamental. Everybody has a good reason for being a certain way.
On the other hand, this book is magistrally written. It is easy to read and it is also very different, written in the format of a theatre play.Highly recommend it.

Great Puig's book.......2000-05-26

As Boquitas Pintadas, El Beso de la Mujer Araña is another great book from Puig. Gotta read it before seing the movie (which is also great).

Great book.......2000-05-24

WILD LAND WILD LOVE.......2003-04-06

I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN IT WAS A GREAT BOOK AND I LOVED READING IT AS I ALSO ENJOYED READING THE THIRD BOOK IN THE SERIES THE NAME WAS BRAVE LAND BRAVE LOVE AND I GIVE THESE BOOKS A 5 STAR RATING AND MRS CONNIE IS A GREAT AUTHOR AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.

wild land wild love.......2002-07-30

I did enjoy this book and it did keep me interested but, although I really wanted to bond with Kate, she was such a witch that it was difficult to. I really felt sorry for poor Robin and wondered what he possibly loved about her. She treated him [badly] and lets face it, There isn't a man on earth that would put up with prudish [girl] who constantly ridiculed him. This girl constantly pushes her luck and it isn't until the end that she acts the saint. The only chemistry between the two was the sex and, as hot as it was, believe it or not, it actually not old. It also gives you very little info concerning the crimes of the characters but, in fairness, I did not realize that this book was a sequel.

Boring!!!.......2002-03-06

I am now reading this book ,I am almost at the end and I don't feel like finishing it. Kate character is unlikeble from the start and it makes it very hard for me to feel connected.
This is the first book that I read of Connie Mason and I hope that the next one will be much better.

Disapointing.......2001-03-23

I was disapointed in this book. Ms Mason has written much better than this. The dialogue between the characters was adolescent. The heroine was judgemental and stupid in many ways, one was that she never asked what any ones' crimes were. She and Robin didn't have a decent or intelligent conversation until the end, yet they were in love with each other. The sex was great, but lets face it there has to be something else for true love to grow. I enjoy sex scenes, but even I got board with the frequency of it. The story itself had potential but the characters being so adolescent in their dialogue took away from it. The two star rating I gave is for the potenial of the story. To bad the characters ruined it, especially Kate. Robin wasn't quite as bad.

I couldn't put it down.......1999-09-27

It was one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down now I have to read about Ben to see what happens. It was good

Customer Reviews:

fast paced somewhat fluffy sci-fi read.......2005-05-29
"Oxygen Level Zero" introduces us to a fourteen year old atheist named Tyce Sanders, the only person ever born on Mars who has also never seen Earth, and of whom is crippled. When the oxygen level begins to decrease on the experimental Mars station he lives on, Tyce decides to find a way to solve the problem. Meanwhile, his mentor Rawling McTigre introduces him to the secret of why he's crippled, and how he is the first human to interface with a robot...and control a robot in a virtual reality style way, using his brain to tell it what to do, and for the first time ever being able to explore Mars. Time is running out for Tyce and the other 199 people at the station, and the director of the station is up to no good, at least in Tyce's opinion. This book also contains a section on religion and God, briefly talking about Galileo and his trial after he discovered that the Earth revolves around the sun. In many aspects, I found Tyce's character to be similar to that of Jobs in the Remnants series by K.A. Applegate. Overall this book was a very good and thoughful read.
A Promising Beginning.......2001-03-18
Tyce Sanders is your average 14-year-old kid. Except for one thing. He just happens to be the only kid on the experimental station on Mars. In fact, he was born on Mars and has never been to Earth. However, when the station starts getting low on oxygen, he and the others may not live to see the next supply shuttle. Tyce must use his knowledge and virtual reality skills to solve the problem.
Sigmund Brouwer has created a promising character in Tyce. I was most interested to learn of Tyce's disability. The setting is realistic sci-fi, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this world. My only disappointment was in character development. Tyce, as narrator, is well developed, but the other characters are overlooked. A little longer book would have helped with this, but I'm sure with the base of this book, other chapters in the series will add to the other characters, too.

A serious study of the crucifixion.......2007-10-11
This book is a great book for the serious student of the cross. The doctor does several studies of the crucifixion process. He reveals some truth that will break some common myths about how Jesus died. Not for the casual student.
Incomparable.......2007-09-01
I'll try to be brief. This is surely the most balanced point-and-counterpoint book to date, about forensic archaeology and the Shroud of Turin. Scientifically, nothing else I have seen comes close.
Moving.......2007-01-09
Dr. Zugibe has done a spectacular job of research over the years. Although this book is difficult to read (emotionally), it is one that should be read. I always knew that Christ suffered greatly, but never to the extent that He really did. This account has opened my eyes and has changed my life. Since I read his book, I have not been able to think of anything except what love Jesus has for us all. Everyone should know what He truly endured for each one of us. The book is life changing.
5 Stars for one reason only..........2006-06-25
I agree with the other reviewer here that the book is rather disorganized, but its one unimpeachable value is the author's brief explanation at the beginning about his attempt to help Mel Gibson get it right, and his logical and commonsense dismissal of the outrageous and exaggerated unrealism of the Gibson portrayal. Too bad Gibson didn't listen.

Interestingly, Pierre Barbet makes an observation in his book on the medical aspects of the Passion that would have also served to rein in Gibson's blood lust and helped him, perhaps, produce a film far truer and more powerful than what has been claimed for it: Speaking of visual art of the Passion, Barbet writes:

"Actually, those pictures which are meant to be the most realistic are the ones which contain the most blatant physiological errors...When a crucifix is designed to stir our emotions by displaying to us the atrocious nature of the torment, so much the further is it from the truth. I know I shall be attacked for this, but still, it has to be said; if from the artistic standpoint I am able to appreciate the pictorial values of a Grunewald [he is here referring, I surmise, to the Isenheim altarpiece, one of the most gruesome potraits of the Crucifixion ever produced], the contorted way in which he paints the Crucified seems to me to be purely grotesque. I can assure you that the Passion was both more simple and infinitely more tragic than that," (page 28, 1963 Image paperback edition of "A Doctor at Calvary").

For all their disagreement with each other, we can assume that Zugibe and Barbet would be completely one in critcizing Mel Gibson's allegedly "most realistic" presentation of the Passion as grotesque nonsense, and I'm glad Zugibe could go on the record as a medical expert and say so.
Fascinating, passionate but (bloody) disorganized.......2006-05-10
First the bad news: Frederick Zugibe's book on the crucifixion of Christ is much like the Shroud of Turin. It is a chaotic jumble of stains, burns and patches. And from the point of view of organization, it is a bloody mess. The book meanders, argues in circles, mixes brilliant insight with wacky speculation and repeats itself to an embarrassing degree.

But the good news is that, like the Shroud, viewed from the proper distance, it is a clear lens into an often murky and confused topic.

The product of over 5 decades of thought and work about the forensics of crucifixion, "The Crucifixion of Jesus" clarifies the often muddy thinking of previous Shroud authors. Zugibe -- Chief Medical Examiner of Rockland, New York for over 30 years -- outdoes many previous authors by performing experiments to test various theories of how Jesus died. He pretty much scotches the asphyxiation theories -- by which the crucified had to lift himself up to breathe. By suspending volunteers from crosses, he determined that a person crucified in the standard way (with arms nailed out to the sides) would have little trouble breathing. Zugibe also demolishes the "nailed through the wrists" hypothesis that has been accepted as gospel truth, Based on a single experiment by Dr. Pierre Barbet using an amputated (and possibly gangrenous) forearm, this hypothesis has been repeated so often that it is hardly even questioned anymore.

Zugibe applies devastating logic to address other crucifixion mysteries, such as the "broken heart" hypothesis and the swoon theories. His analysis of theories surrounding the Shroud of Turin is also pretty impressive. It's hard to walk away from the book without being more convinced than ever of the Shroud's authenticity. Zugibe also uses this expanded edition to take a few swipes at Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" for its glaring historical inaccuracies, mostly for the brutal scourging that would have killed Jesus at the pillar.

As mentioned earlier, the book suffers from horrific organization. Before even introducing the reader to the Shroud, Zugibe uses it to "prove" facts about 1st century Roman crucifixion methods. Before discussing the Shroud, it would have been better to build up a case for what we know about crucifixion from accepted historical, archeological, artistic and/or experimental evidence. This would allow history to authenticate the Shroud rather than the other way around. Finally, though Zugibe excoriates writers who write outside their field of expertise, he often does just that. Early on, for instance, he places the writing Luke's gospel to 61 CE - twenty-four years earlier than the scholarly estimate of 85 CE. And he is selective about his use of the New Testament, cherry-picking Luke (in which Christ sweats blood) and John (the flow of blood and water from Christ's pierced side) to piece together a composite passion narrative.

Zugibe also lets his speculation run rampant. He proposes that after nailing Jesus's hands, his Roman executioners walked him backward up a set of steps in order to get the crosspiece onto the upright. While this is an interesting hypothesis, and fits in with ancient descriptions of crucifixion as "ascending the cross," the stairway is utterly without historical attestation. Also, his reconstruction of the way the Romans immobilized Jesus for crucifixion (by lying atop him as his hands were being nailed) is not impossible, but is Zugibe's own invention.

Zugibe also falls prey to the "Mel Gibson" syndrome -- the impulse to portray Christ's passion as the most horrible death experienced by a human being. From the bloody trauma of the Agony to the beating at the home of the high priest, to the scourging, nailing and crowning with thorns, Christ's passion is milked for every insult to every nerve-ending in the human body.

For all its faults and excesses, there is no other book that brings together so much information about the history of crucifixion, on its likely effects on the human body, and on how the Shroud of Turin reflects those facts. As a "newcomer" to the subject (I have been reading and thinking about crucifixion and the Shroud for only 40 years!) I found "The Crucifixion of Jesus" to be an impressive and persuasive achievement.
