Title: Am I reading the same book?
Product review: I really wanted to like this book, as I love biblical tales, especially from the Old Testament. But I found this book to be dull, dragging. And the error of Isaac dying before Jacob returned to his homeland was a little too blatant, and I couldn't get passed it. Another thing, is even though I think the author did do a good job of giving us a perspective of what it was like to live back then, there were parts that I felt were a little to PC for me. For example when Jacob slaps Leah, and then thinks to himself how much he HATES the custom of hitting women. It just strikes as unnecessary to establish the idea that even though Jacob slaps his wife, he really doesn't like the custom.Another thing about the novel was that I just didn't find it all that gripping. It flowed along fine, but unfortunately it didn't make me want to stay up passed by bed time and continue reading it.
