Book Reviews of Ben-Hur (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A Good Historical Drama
Summary: 4 Stars
Lew Wallace's Ben Hur is an exciting historical novel of the life of a Jewish Prince. Along the way he is wrongfully imprisoned, serves as a slave onboard a warship, becomes trained in warfare, regains his wealth, destroys his enemy in a famous charot race, witnesses the crucifixion, sees the healing of his family from leprosy, and discovers the Christian faith. By modern standards the book is overwritten, Ben Hur is perhaps to rigid and perfect a character (as are other characters), and the book loses some intensity after the Masala is defeated. Still, the flavor of the age comes through. This has been a best seller for 125 years with good reason. A very good read.
