Come Rack! Come Rope! Review
Five stars just isn't enough for this incredible classic! This is my most favorite book of all time by my most favorite author of all time!! Robert Benson's incredible talent of words creates lively and realistic characters, events, descriptions, and dialogue. This book is based on real events but the characters are fictional. This is an engrossing and thrilling read. If you love romance, action, suspense, twists and turns, you will love this book!! I could hardly put it down when I read it! I fell in love with the characters and I was literally in tears at the end of the book with true feelings of joy and saddness! You'll have to read it to find out why!
I'm now reading another of Msgr. Benson's works entitled "By What Authority" which is just as enthralling and captivating! I can't wait to see how it ends...

Come Rack, Come Rope - Clare - Eagle River, AK
Great book, but unfortunately it is not as good as LORD OF THE WORLD by the same author - and I read that first. Still, it is a gender neutral book in the sense that men and women can enjoy it. And over the years, I feel most books are written for the female audience mostly.
Engrossing - Schmerguls - Sioux City, Ia USA
This account of Catholics enduring persecution in Elizabethan England is filled with true events, only the central characters being fictional. I found the terror thru which the protagonists lived to be chilling, and the ending is unforgettable. While the book was published in 1912 it still resonates with anyone who opposes religious persecution, and inspires admiration for the heroic men who sought to serve the Catholics being subjected to the religious intolerance of Queen Elizabeth and her minions. A rewarding reading experience.
Great book, and I apologize for my earlier bad review! - Christine A. Lehman - Los Angeles, CA United States
I originally gave this a rating of 3 stars because I had it confused with another book by the same author and thought somethign was missing from this edition. My apologies! It is a good book all on its own, about a sad period in Christendom when Protestants and Catholics were LITERALLY at each other's throats. These days we're pretty much satisfied with ripping each other's entrails out in virtual reality - those days they did it for real!!
