Remembering Isaac

review 1: I generally enjoyed this book and its message. Niederbipp is an authentic German town with a lot of charm whose potter recently passed away. Jake is a recent college graduate preparing for a trip to Greece to study further pottery techniques. He sees an ad in a ceramics magazine to be the next potter of Niederbipp; he sacrifices his trip to Greece to "try it out" for the summer. He then learns through the town members about the well loved and humble man who preceded him- Isaac. The book is full of sketches and paint splatters which are fun but distracting at times. Towards the end, the story became a little redundant for me as the formula of townspeople's stories repeated itself and the love story was slow in development.
review 2: I decided to join a book clu... moreb that many of my neighbors are in and this book is May's pick. I read it in one day, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the message behind it, that living a simple life and always doing your best for others brings happiness, like Isaac did for the people of Niederbipp. I also love how the stories the townspeople tell Jake, the new 22 year-old town potter, change his life for the better. I also love that the love of God is an important part of these people's lives. I look forward to reading the sequel. less
