Summary: My favorite book of all time
Review: This is my favorite book of all time and I have read a lot of books. The writing is beautiful. The characters are very realisticly portrayed with frailties and strengths like the rest of us. I'm sure it is a realistic portrayal of life in a monastery with all the problems and joy when people of different backgrounds and personalities are living together in close quarters trying to follow the will of God. I love the descriptions of everything in the book. The characters are so well-developed and most interesting. I've read this book twice and will reread it again several times in the future. I think it's a classic.
