I can't wait to read it. I have often wanted to know more about Biblical figures and even though this is fiction, I think it should be fun.

While I don't read fictional books based on religion, your review was great and makes the book sound very interesting.

Nice review. Turning a section of the Bible into a book, done properly it is a good way to spread the word.

I love reading biblical stories, I will definitely have to read this one. One thing I do struggle with is being able to tell what is added and what is straight from the Bible. Last year I really got into one that was fiction but it had a lot of parts I remembered from the Bible and I didn't realize it was fiction. In short I ended up really confused and had to get help to decipher what was real and what was fiction. I still loved the book though. Lol

Great review. This book sounds fascinating especially because the author is retelling an old story that is widely known.
