Direct object and clauses

0 Hello Guy!02br
00I want to know: Is Appositive sentence the same as Non-essential clauses ? 02br
00Little confusion in recognizing Direct and in Direct objecs, also object of preposition02br
00We both thought that this novel was one of the finest 01i00books02i00 we have ever read. 02br
00I read that direct object recives the action. Here book get the action "read" which make its a direct object. But preposition Of make me confuse. Whether its a object of preposition or not. Secondly is ONE is direct object here ?02br
00Please clarify this point 05002br
