The Last Promise

Summary: The Last Promise
Review: If you want to visit Italy and can't afford the time or the cost just buy Richard Paul Evans book. Not only will you feel like you are in Italy, but be so wrapped around the characters, the beauty of the countryside and wonderful use of the Italian dialogue (which is translated in English) that you will have to stop working just to get back to reading this great book. I read it in a few days and finally finished it late one night. I haven't read such a great book in years. I miss the characters already and wish I was back in the pages of The Last Promise, because it warmed my heart with love, suspense and Italy.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: DISAPPOINTING! I was so disappointed after I read this book that it had no uplifting moral values that the past books have had. I looked forward to buying this book to share once again at Christmas but not this year. The story was lagging ... How unfortunate! As for this reader, this will be THE LAST, ......PROMISE! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Summary: Writers With Meaning!
Review: I rarely take another reader's recommendation, but am so glad that I did! I am a huge fan of Richard Paul Evans and read The Christmas Box at least once every year. I am so excited that he has another novel coming out! Anyway, I took a chance and read Shade of the Maple and wow, what a beautiful story. So descriptive and inspiring, makes you cry happy and sad tears at the same time! I also read an excerpt of Mr. Martin's new book at thegraveldrive.com and even it made me cry! So now my life is doubly blessed. Both of these guys know how to write stories with meaning. Keep writing!!

Summary: A Writer of Tender, Deep, Timeless Love Stories!
Review: I have treasured each one of Richard Paul Evans' books, and was so excited to hear that The Last Promise is here in time for the holidays. I respect Mr. Evans because he is not afraid to write stories that are tender, deep and timeless. They have a redemptive nature and a wholesome quality that few writers have the courage to explore anymore. I recently discovered a couple books by a new author, Kirk Martin, that strike me as being very much like Mr. Evans' books (Shade of the Maple and The Gravel Drive). They reaffirm the values of selflessness and sacrifice as the cornerstones of true love. I can't wait for The Last Promise, and for those who enjoy Mr. Evans' work, I highly recommend Mr. Martin's novels as well.

Review: This is my favorite Richard Paul Evans book thus far! Richard has such a way of bringing his charactors to life. He captured the beauty and essence of Italy, and made me fall in love again. I will be reading this novel again and passing this book on to my friends.

Summary: A touchingly romantic tale.
Review: Leave it to Richard Paul Evans to create ill fated and seemingly immutable circumstances between two people and manage to find a positive outcome for all. Through this story we learn many lessons, one being how little we know about the social convention of those in other countries and another of the necessity we all have to feel loved. These lessons are brought to life as you journey to Italy where through his vivid account you can practically smell, taste and feel your surroundings. While this book is a mite different from his other works it highlights the extensive range of his talent as a writer.

Summary: A Deeply Felt Romance
Review: It was easy to become wrapped up in the push and pull of these two people trying to find and hold onto each other. This love story contains some beautiful moments... and memorable moments make Richard Paul Evans' latest release a fun read. I found that I really wanted to get lost in Italy myself. Having traveled briefly in Northern Italy in the past, Mr. Evans' intricate desciptions of the landscaped had me longing to return. I enjoyed the little Italian lessons along the way!

Summary: Evans has written a winner!
Review: I loved The Last Promise! Eliana, Ross and Italy--what a combination of wonderful characters and incredible settings! The story grabbed on hard from the first and wouldn't let me go. I opened the book and closed it when I was finished with the last page. I paused only for an occasional snack and bathroom breaks! It is such a treat to read a book with characters you fall in love with, a book that generates inside you that "fall in love" feeling all over again. I want to sit down and read it again. Excellent book.

Summary: I've read it 4 times.
Review: I am such a fan of Richard Paul Evans, when I got this book, I expected it to be good. I did not expect it to be as wonderful as it is. There are no words to describe how much I love this book. The way Eliana and Ross's love unfolds, and the way Evans describes the beautiful Italian landscape, and way of life, makes you feel like your actually sitting there, watching this story happen. I've gotten many a person to read this book and they usually finish it in one day. And like I said, I've read it four times, when I usually don't read a book more than once.
I totally recommend this book to anyone, b/c I guarentee you'll love it, and most likely read it in one day!
