BOOKS OF WILBUR SMITH

WILBUR SMITH is a world-renowned author. A very well-established writer whose books are best-sellers! There's no doubt his books made a lot of money and many of his fans who love his books collect these kind of books because of its content, book cover, title that are sure winner and worth collecting. My husband's a collector of Wilbur Smith's books. He reads his books most of the time on his spare time. He reads them as in "religiously." I wonder why. In my curiousity I read one of his books. There are more than ten books of WS in our book case. Just looking at it, so thick and hard bound cover, meaning it's a heavy book and looking at the pages? Wow! It wont be long before I could finish reading it. Imagine each book has more than 500 pages!!!!!!!! That's a lot of pages!!! That I told myslef I will read your book maybe one of these days but not now. My husband encourage me to read one, try to read THE BURNING SHORE. It's a good one he told me. I used to reply, "some other time!"

Then years ago when his Mother gifted him with a new book written by Wilbur...it was the WARLOCK. Unknowingly my husband already had the hard bound copy of WARLOCK. So we have two copies of that fascinating book. It must be! I haven't read the whole story. I was on page ? I think I was on page 77 of WARLOCK.  I only read books when I am not that busy. The only book of WS that I finished reading was the book THE QUEST.

All his book from what I "dissected" is more or less the complete story of the Pharaoh, the mummy, and the whole story of EGYPT. It's more like the entire complete story of THE BIBLE. It's condensed not evap! You really have to concentrate when you're to read his books.

The books on the photo above: The first three books: ASSEGAI, THE QUEST, THOSE IN PERIL are three of his latest books in the book store. I finished reading THOSE IN PERIL and its a novel filled with action and suspense. It's more like what's in the present situation of power struggle of the rich and famous. If he wants that made into movie? He should ask Angelina Jollie to star in it. Lots of action. Lots of weapons.
