Customer Reviews

Very well written and interesting book.

Malinski did a good job of describing the life Karol Wojtyla experienced before being elected Pope in 1978. This book covers the time from before the German occupation of Poland right up to the election and is very easy to read.The book leaves you feeling a lot closer to John Paul by sharing with you his expriences through the eyes of Malinski. The chapters each told a story of a point in time of John Paul's life and helps you to understand more about not only what he has been through but how those experiences have made him the great man he is today.You feel you're with him as he is working in the factory or trying to make his way around an occupied Poland after dark. You feel warmth as he works with young people to give them something to hold on to and you smile as you find how much of a sportsman he was (and probably still would like to be).This is an excellent book and not just a book for Catholics to read.
