a collection of serial novellas. I can finish a section, put the book down and come back to it and read the next one without feeling I have lost anything. I think this one is my favorite!

Exodus is just wonderful. LOL my mom gave it to my uncle for Christmas when it first came out, and he was disappointed in it because he thought it was actually about the book of Exodus in the Bible!!! Suggestion: Find and read Mila 18 by Uris. It is a powerful book about the Warsaw Ghett. One of the characters (Dov) is also an important character in Exodus. This book is his backstory.
