Cold River: a survivor's story is about man's desire for freedom during a time when none existed. Jozef describes the village in which he grew up with such emotion and sadness that the reader can hear the snow crunching beneath his expectant mother's feet as she makes her way through the snow drifts. This story is fact, not fiction, when you are finished you will know what it is like to taste freedom for the first time. And perhaps feel pain of its cost.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

It is said that writers are people who, as children, did not receive sufficient rejection either from adults or peers and so are compelled to seek it relentlessly in later life. Jozef Imrich has written the War and Peace of escapes. Havel tackled free will, Tolstoy the meaning of life, Imrich practiced what they preached ... Citizen journalist's job is like a baker's work -- his rolls are tasty as long as they're fresh; after two days they're stale; after a week, they're covered with mould and fit only to be thrown out:

To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great door stopper
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2006
I happened to trip over this book at a friend's place. Quite literally as it was on the floor being used as a door stopper. It seems that the 50 books the publisher had printed failed to sell and they were giving them away as door stoppers.

It saddens me to know that good healthy trees were wasted printing this dribble. Was the publisher awake when it approved this poor excuse for writing. Surely there could have been better uses for the paper.. say instructions on cleaning dog turds off your shoes.. as that is what it felt like to read 2 pages.. yes 2 as that is all i could get through before i began to feel ill.

I have already spent too much time of my life on this waste of space.. I just wanted to warn other readers to completely ignore Cold River as it is rubbish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truth is compelling reading
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2006
The writer has enabled us to join him in his real pursuit of life with freedom. Freedom that can only be taken lightly by those who have never had it compromised. When the day to day annoyances of freeway traffic,rude check out staff and stress overtakes you, this book is a reality check of what we take for granted and a life journey we hope never to experience. A book to appeal to the intellect and hope in us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doorstopper, Indeed.
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2006
Doorstopper, indeed.

I was surprised at the review placed on this site saying that Cold River was nothing more than a doorstopper. Then I got to thinking-since I have read the book cover to cover. Yes, indeed, there are certainly those in the world who might find this a good doorstopper. People who don't respect freedom or care that others are persecuted. People who think that violence is a means to subjugating groups of individuals. People who lump others together in tight little groups so that they can be more easily hated. Yes. Some people might be just the kinds of people to use this book as a doorstopper. Sad that we must remind ourselves that there is a place even for hateful, uneducated readers/thinkers/reviewers. Oh, and folks, the book is insightful. And frightening. Because it's real.
