One of the best biography i have ever read. This books brings alive karol, the dramatist,the actor and Pope John paul-II ,the Priest,the Philosopher. Early part of this books explains the horror of Nazis as well as the effect of Second World war.As i was reading book i felt horror on my own when i think myself at the Concentration Camp like Auschwitz setup by the Nazis.
The life of Karol revolved around Krakaw and its people specially with his dram troupe.He was able to express himself through his acting.The anger ,frustration ,life without father and mother all these things made him more religious and powerful.He had a special devotion to Mary.The author qoutes many philosophers while detailing the life of Karol,which is something interesting.
The second part of the book tells the life Pope John Paul II .His strong views on family values,his opposition to Abortion were some his principles which explained his Pontificate.I personally suppport Pro-Life .He raised his voice against war,he strongly condemned US for its role in Iraq and Afganistan.Without him Communism in Europe would have flourished specailly in Poland.
For all his views he got strong criticism from many quarters. His life is an example to me to live my life in accordance with God's plan.
Garry O'Connor has written many biographies .
