Best in the Cotton Malone series. Great read.

Story drags on. Only interesting portion was last few chapters. Didn’t care for any of the characters much.

Once again, you have given us something to consider. After reading your books I enjoy researching the places and facts you have presented. Thank you for sharing your talent of story telling once again!

Boring and too long, not something you would read agsin

A brilliant telling of the civil rights movement revolving around the later life and death of Dr. King.

I rarely write reviews....this is only my second. This book was written in the first person, and I am not sure who edited it. It is hard to read, the storyline is terrible. If I was the King family, I would be disgusted at the premise of this story. If there was a way to get my money back, I would. Offensive and poorly written are the three words I would use to describe this book.

Hard to believe this author laid an egg, but Bishop’s Pawn was a yawner. Way too much boring detail and almost lifeless characters.

I was very disappointed in The Bishop's Pawn, it was not Berry's best work. He noted that this was his first ever attempt at writing a novel from the first person perspective. I didn't like it and don't enjoy novels written in first person. I like the author to be able to shift the perspective from different view points, and up to this novel it was something Berry had always mastered. I hope this was his last attempt at utilizing this method of writing. It was as if the novel was written by a different author entirely.

Unbelievable thesis, way too long and wordy, undeveloped characters. I found the book unsatisfying and the ending not credible. I like most of Mr. Berry’s books but he sometimes goes off the deep end and that is where this book resides, in my opinion.

I greatly enjoyed this book and its look back at Cotton Malone and at Dr. King’s struggle and legacy. Creative, respectful and with some excellent twists and turns.
