Book Reviews of Ship of Fools
Book Review: Which One Do You Get?
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book and have read it a few times....that's why I give it 5 stars. I give amazon 1 star because they show a cover and send you a different cover. I want the blue cover and they send the stupid red cover with flowers on it. I have no idea why they advertise one thing and send you a different thing.
Summary of Ship of Fools
The story takes place in the summer of 1931, on board a cruise ship bound for Bremerhaven, Germany. The passenger list is long and portentous, and includes a Spanish noblewoman, a drunken German lawyer, an American divorcee, a pair of Mexican Catholic priests, and a host of others. This ship of fools is a crucible of intense experience, out of which everyone emerges forever changed. Rich in incident, passion, and treachery, the novel explores themes of nationalism, cultural and ethnic pride, and basic human frailty that are as relevant now as they were when the novel first appeared in 1962.Contemporary Books
