Description In Pursuance Of Books The Spider Catcher
Full Review: http://www.thebookwormslibrary.com/?p...This is a book that I got frustrated with early — and it never really improved for me. As a preface, I should say that I really am not much of a fan of Christian literature. I get frustrated with the idealized personification of the characters — even in their extreme challenges and difficulties. This, in turn leads to a real disconnect from the characters in general. That was exactly the case in this one. Clearly, I should have read the description a little closer, as if I had realized it was in this genre, I may have steered away from it. In the opening of the book, I actually found Rees a potentially interesting character. His troubled background, his conflict between his father and step-siblings, his passion for medicine — which his family didn’t share: it all led to great potential for a really solid foundation. Unfortunately, I didn’t find that he developed much beyond this preliminary presentation. Rees ultimately became the epitome of many of the problems the majority of the characters manifested in this book. He is naive in the extreme — almost to the point of innocence personified. There is a total lack of the hardened world around him found in his nature. (And yet he grew up in a home where he is at constant loggerheads with his father and brothers). He sees the world through rose colored glasses that even when life goes wrong, never really come off. Generally, the characters are shallow representations of idealized persons. Their lives manifest some conflicts between their professed faiths and their actions. Ultimately, it isn’t so much that I found them unbelievable, as I found them lacking all depth and dimension.

The ending was rather abrupt but all in all I really enjoyed this story.A very sweet book. I liked the way the charaters grew in the book. His blend of history and fiction is brilliant.
The characters are well developed and I love this period in history.
One I picked off the shelf at the beach (never knowing what you will find!). I am thinking Morris is a Christian fiction writer and I don't get much into that, but this book was enjoyable. It is set in the American Revolution time in Boston.
Absolutely fanastic story line!
A compelling love story set in the midst of the American Revolution. Morris throws the readers into the confusion and danger of the 18th century dispute through the eyes of a protagonist quite indifferent to the cause... at first. With cliff-hangers at every chapter, I could count the number of sittings it took to read this book on one hand! The love story, though somewhat predictable, is still captivating and has a happily ever after that will please anyone!
Great storyline with a well thought out mystery and unpredictable ending.
