Book Reviews
Fantastic, compulsive reading, gripping, could not put it down.... Ricot places at the core of the structure of this book the theme of human trafficking....a theme that is deadly serious, a theme that is harrowing as well as tragic. There is no small wonder she is able to get her teeth into the spirit of this book.... [A] truly thrilling read worthy of the company of fellow female writers like Danielle Steel or Anne Rice. This book is a political satire. But this review will fail in its objective to influence readers to read what is my felt sense that this book is a classic, if I fail to emphasize and re-emphasize that this novel Sahara reads completely like a work of fiction, for it tells a fantastic epic story that holds your interest from start to end.

I read this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. It had copious amounts of sex and violence appropriately placed to keep you interested. There were real life characters in the book that you will certainly recognize. However, it is apparent that these characters have fictitious roles in the book. To me, the book is full of symbolism about women and their role in American life. For example, women have no power and at the same time have unlimited power over men. There are some obvious other examples of symbolism in the reading; some jump out at you while others are obfuscated to some degree. This makes re-reading the book enjoyable to ascertain some of these nuances. I recommend reading Sahara by a Great American writer Angella Ricot.
