Review title: Varley's search for GOD Product review: I loved the book -- great Sci-Fi with a lot of adventure and twists. Much of his writing reminds me of Piers Anthony. However, Varley is preoccupied with his own religion which occasionally shows up very clearly in his writing. It really doesn't bother me, but he is searching for God -- "he protesteth too much." I've seen it several times in people who pooh-pooh God and any afterlife but cannot keep from talking about it -- they and he are after the same thing. Very simply he's looking for God and the meaning of existence. Like most aethist's or agnostics (for all I know he's Southern Baptist)who blame life's miseries on a non-caring or non-existent God, they apparently don't understand that God gave this world to man and He's letting man "run it." So, keep looking John, and while you're at it, write us some more of that brilliant fiction -- you might find Him along the way!

Review title: Fancy woman finds common bond with the Ebersol family Product review: When reading "The Sacrifice" I was struck by how easy it was to rekindle my relationship with the Ebersol family. Ms. Lewis presents her charaters fully and truthfully. Leah's love of family and sense of duty,inspite of personal feelings, inspire. Sadie's journey holds a life lesson. The twins show that even in the Plain community there is teen-age angst, peer pressure and realization that the furtue is not always so cut and dry. The struggle of Abram and Ida to hold together their family, despie the adult pressures of their life in the Plain community, will touch any parent. Remove the guies of the plain lifestyle, and you will see your own family and take comfort that there is a plan, even if we are not aware of what it is. This is a great read that anyone of any age or background will enjoy. I am looking forward to Ms. Lewis's next novel, "The Prodigal" due out in October 2004.

Review title: It hasn't stopped our cat from Urinating, so don't purchase it for that! Product review: After reading the manufacturers directions to use for 30 days to see results, we purchased about $85 of this stuff to cover a 2500 sq. ft home for 2 months. We are now going into the 6th week with NO positive results. It was like taking $85 cash and throwing it right in the garbage.
