The Oasis: A Memoir of Love and Survival in a… de Petru Popescu

Good love story at a work camp in Germany where the couple survive the Holocaust. I thought it might be cheesy because of the garish cover, but it was really well done. Told from alternating points of view.

Almost Adam de Petru Popescu

Not the most engaging of stories but it kept my attention at the time. An anthropologist discovers a tribe of protohumans. He sees, and learns quite a few things. Political intrigue ensues and takes a plausible and interesting story and makes it slightly generic.

Almost Adam: A Novel de Petru Popescu

Blend of intriguing thoughts on the species development of humans and human behavior mixed with high action adventure. If he had started with the high action in the first couple of chapters, I would not have read this. I could picture this as a movie or TV show: high speed car chases, people shooting wildly, attacking lions, crooked police, & exotic romance (a movie also I wouldn't watch). But his premise of remnant proto-humans still existing in an isolated area in Kenya's Rift Valley was intriguing, as was his story of an archaeologist's interactions with the young boy he first contacted.
Giving this book away--not worth my shelf space.… (mais)

Almost Adam de Petru Popescu

I read this book about 10 years ago and still remeber it as a Boring Book. The author tries to model the main character off Tarzan and trust me, the author is no Edgar Rice Burroughs. Just a ridiculous read and should only be attempted if you have nothing else to read !!!
