Review of The Legacy of Job's Wife
Posted: 23 Mar 2024, 14:07
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Legacy of Job's Wife" by Cynthia Koelker.]
The book "The Legacy of Job's Wife" describes some small, sweet, and sour instances of family life, and the story revolves around these aspects. It has very well-dictated, very minute details of homely interactions among the family members that are really awesome to read, and some are laughable as well. Things like throwing the food away when there are worms in the bowl are quite normal, and this is certainly something no one would like to experience, but the way the character in the story responds to the situation, saying to just eat the worms as they are not harmful, is really very funny and laughable.
I am not very fond of reading the stories where it talks so much about hating God and all that, which I do not like, so I do not very much like this book. I was also losing interest in the book for that reason. It was just when I started finding some great, lovely stories surrounding the characters where they converse a lot, like in real-life situations, and have some nice, kind, and homely interactions among them that I started gaining interest in reading the book. This book describes romantic love that starts with childhood friendship. It has great detail about how love can start with a beautiful friendship at a very young age. It clearly outlines the growth of individuals and how they grow up loving each other.
I would rate the book 3 out of 5 because I did not find it really interesting or relevant to read. I do have a suggestion for the author that they might have shown some more creativity in displaying or showcasing the anger and hatred attitude shown in the book in a different way, probably which could create more interest in making all the readers find more enjoyment while reading it.
