Simmons style of writing is not the quickest/easiest read, but the story is good. A sad ending to a beautiful life.

This is by far one of the most interesting books I have ever read!! Hard to put down. Well documented. Has pictures. Not written in the traditional way, but interviews by actual participants. Well done!! I have bought several of these books and given them all away!!


My Escape From the Auto De Fe at Valladolid, October, 1559

A true story and fast read. Once you start it, you can't put it down! A man is being persecuted for his religious belief, and he disguises himself as a priest and attempts to escape Spain for France - taking his fiance with him - only she does not recognize him! Don't read it when you're alone!!

One of the best books I've ever read. This author was one of my Professors while at college - and he'd hold the class spellbound. His books do the same. Highly recommend it!
