Customer Reviews

Beyond this Place, the best book we have read in alltime.

Beyond this Place, has started my husband reading for the first time, he is now a book worm, where as he had never read a book in his life.The story of a man going to such lengths to seek freedom for a father he hadn't seen for fifteen years. Great Stuff!

A refreshing experience.

After reading Cronin's The Citadel, I had this excellent author in mind. I came across 'Beyond This Place' by chance, it was a very old edition (40'). Reading this book was a refreshing experience. It has all the ingredients of an up to date bestseller: crooked law system, innocent man in prison, a one man fight against the establishment, unfulfilled love etc. I couldn't leave the book off until finished. I wish it would be reprinted as well as dramatized for Television. The only thing the book doesn't have is Sex, but if you have a good wife, who needs it in theory anyway...
