Who Told You That You Were Naked? is an attempt to re-examine the events that took place between Adam, Eve, the serpent and God in the garden of Eden. It is a blend of fictional and biblical scenery with the purpose of throwing more light on the events which led to Adams disobedience, his motive, the introduction and the implication of sin and the nakedness they felt thereafter. It talks about salvation, it's implications and how it influences man’s relation to sin and God.

The employ of fictional scenes makes the book a lighter and easier book to read. The fictional scenes where somewhat comical and quite imaginative. The fictional scenes is a clever way of steering the reader’s imagination and attention towards possibilities that the author wishes to be explored. It helped maintain a lighter mood throughout the book. This is especially hard for most religious books which are at best borderline boring. It is also nice that the writer kept his choice of words simple. It made the book easier to read and assimilate, unlike most religious books.

I would recommend the book Who Told You That You Were Naked? to Christians. It is a useful material for obtaining a better understanding of the book of Genesis and the concept of sin and salvation. I would also recommend the book to religious explorers. Those who aren't really Christians but are interested in gaining more knowledge on the concept of Christianity and the things of God. Furthermore, the book is age-friendly and is good for kids as young as three, teens and adults. It has no age restrictions. Finally, I would recommend an open mind as the book introduces new ideology in explaining the events that happened in and out of the Garden of Eden.

I would rate Who Told You That You Were Naked? 3 out of 4 stars because it is unlike most religious books. It is way more fun to read than I expected. The writer was able to carry the readers along without getting lost in his ideology and kept his reader interested. Very unlike the frequent shots of boredom that accompanies most religious books.

Who Told You That You Were Naked? is not without fault. The writer made mistakes which include typographical errors like sonshine, and simple mistakes like; Its instead of it's and so on. The book needs to be properly edited. Who Told You That You Are Naked? is a really nice and interesting book to read.
