Summary: Francine's Most Unusual Work
Review: The sin eater is a tradition that came from England to America. It was a person who was paid a fee to take the sins of a community upon himself. That person then became a social outcast and recluse. This book tells the story of the last sin eater, deep in the Appalachian Mountains. Little Cadi Forbes feels the weight of her sin so severly that she is driven to find the sin eater. The process is one of discovery, intrigue, and redemption, as she learns the true nature of sin and salvation and ends up turning her whole world (and her secret-bound community) completely upside down. Easily Rivers' most unusual book, it is also one of her most powerful. Five Stars.

Summary: Bre's
Review: I am a big fan of Francine Rivers, and she has not disappointed me yet. This is a powerful story of forgiveness and redemption, one that all Christians should read. It has answers about faith, and about life. Wonderful.

Summary: Inspirational, tear-jerking
Review: This is the best book I've read in a very long time. The story pulls you in and leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. As the mystery unravelled, I couldn't put it down! But beyond the interesting story line, more importantly, this book really opened my mind and soul to the real meaning of forgiveness. Young Cadi's struggle with her remorse and guilt had me crying, and I don't easily cry over books. I should also say that I'm not a frequent Christian-fiction reader. I have read the Left Behind series, and those are just sadly lacking in inspiration compared to The Last Sin Eater. If you're looking for a great story that's going to reignite your faith and goodness, read this book!

Summary: a born again Harlequin novel
Review: I had hoped that this would be an interesting story about redemption, with local folklore thrown in. I was disappointed.The most interesting character in the story (Cadi's grandmother)dies in the first few pages and it's downhill from there. Cadi is an interesting child but her fixation on finding the sin eater is never adequately explained. Neither is the often bizarre behaviour of the supporting characters. Their ability to quote Scripture is admirable, but doesn't leaven the flat plot. If you enjoy Harlequin novels (there's nothing wrong with that, many people do) you will enjoy this book. If you want something with a little more substance, move on.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: Francine Rivers has a God-given gift that only one in a trillion people receive! The way she weaves you into a story so that it's almost part of you is no less than amazing. It's been about a year since I read "The Last Sin Eater" and I desperately want to read it again once I am finished with the other volumes I'm into right now. Cadi is one of the most wonderful characters I've ever read about. Some people may think that it's "syrupy" or unreal that children would be quoting Scripture verbatim. To that I say, "Expect the unexpected when the Holy Spirit is in charge!" "The Last Sin Eater" is without a doubt the most fascinating Christian fiction I've ever read. It's impossible to even begin to describe the story or plot line - you have to read it for yourself. You will not regret buying this novel.

Summary: This book is intriguing, inspiring, a great read.
Review: I found this book difficult to put down. The poignancy of Cadi's sense of guilt which separated her from her parents' love, the unusual concept of the Sin Eater as a sort of redeemer, the fiercely defended autonomy of a wild, remote Appalachian mountain community, the fascinating way scripture is an integral part of the story, and the rela tionships, especially between Cadi and Fagan, son of the brutal Brogan Kai.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Review: What a beautiful portrait of a person coming to the Lord! I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone. To a reader from California, Even if you never have encountered anyone having such conversion as Ms. Rivers has portraited, please do not think it is impossible. The Holy Spirit works on people's lives differently. I have seen and known people with such conversion -- quoting Bible verses and complete change of behavior, etc. We have a wonderful God with whom nothing is impossible!
