review 1: This book is very informative about the lives of the Puritans both in England and in the New World. Strict religious beliefs give birth to heart rending moral dilemmas and the anguish of doubt.The first half of the book is set in England giving the reader a clear idea of Puritan life before coming to the New World. The second half shows how these beliefs, packed with care in each Puritan's suitcase, color their lives in the New World.
review 2: This is a solid simple story, and well researched. It really felt like I was getting into the head of "the Pilgrim". Unfortunately - me being an atheist, I couldn't really enjoy getting inside a Puritan's mind. I don't think this book has a religious bias, as there are many examples of horrors caused by faith in this ... morework, but it does describe an extremely narrow worldview that I could take little delight from. less
