The Amazing Tales of Max & Liz

review 1: Review for The Bookshelf Reviews (bookshelfreviews.blogspot.com)People of all beliefs and religions can appreciate the beauty of this wonderful read.Max, a Scottish terrier, and Liz, a beautiful black cat, are called from their individual homes to lead an ever-growing group of animals to Noah's recently-finished Ark. Along the way are many obstacles that, with a little help from the Maker and his trail-blazing fire cloud, the slew of furry creatures successfully cross. But once they board the Ark and settle in, a controversy starts to brew. Are the reclusive wolves causing all the chaos that is slowly severing the friendly ties between the animals and humans? If not them, who could be responsible for such a task? It's up to the brave and intelligent pairing of Max and Liz ... moreto find out before it's too late.This book had me flipping through chapter after chapter, anxiously following the creatures from distant and nearby lands to the Ark. Each character, no matter how big a part, has their own personality that shines through, providing humorous relief or a jaw-dropping twist to the story. Cote flawlessly links the details of the trip with the recordings of the Bible. The closing of the adventure is beautiful and tear-inducing. An amazing literary work.
review 2: This book had great potential - an original idea and a great cast of characters. However, Cote needed a good editor. Parts were ponderous and redundant and left me wishing for it to just hurry up and end already. Having said that, it was chock full of great lessons on faith, trust, and friendship. I have higher hopes for the second book in the series. From what I understand, her writing shows development in The Dreamer, The Schemer, and The Robe. less
