The Left Hand of God

GOODREAD Member Reviews: Tim Ristow (Aug 11, 2017) really liked it: Having seen and appreciated the Humphrey Bogart film which is based upon Barrett's book, I'd always been curious about the original novel itself. Now, having read it, I can say it truly gives an added layer of depth to my understanding of the story and characters in the film. The characters are richer, especially Jim Carmody (the protagonist), Anne and even Dr. & Beryl Sigman. This is really a good story.

R. West (Aug 25, 2017) liked it: Loved the movie with Bogart, thought I would check out the book. Found a hardback on Amazon. It was decent enough, but missing the charm from the film. These things happen a lot to me. Classic films from the 40s, 50s and 60s that are better than the book. In reality the book is probably better, but my brain is embedded with the actors and the good feelings I have when watching a movie (the nostalgia thing) for the umpteenth time. Lynn Demsky (Jul 31, 2018) really liked it (Shelves: history, literature): I found this to be heart warming, stirring and an adventure taking place in China where a pretend Priest does his best to save a mission! And, he found he had a heart after all!
