Title: Expected much more from this highly rated book
Review: As an uneducated Bedouin shepherd leading a nomadic lifestyle in a vast desert, who is completely ignorant of anything even remotely approaching modern enlightenment, science, logic, reason, etc., I expected this book to really speak to me. Based on what I'd heard others say about it, it sounded like it would be right up my alley. But I found most of it to be a lot of patently absurd drivel that I simply couldn't swallow no matter how hard I tried. I literally couldn't keep a straight face as I read this tripe. I'm wondering if maybe it was deliberately written from a comedic or farcical angle; if so, it went wooshing right over my head, like one of those great metal birds in the sky.I think I'll stick with my old favorites: 5000 year old clay tablets with cuneiform carvings. Neat little stories about gods such as An, Enlil, Nammu, Utu... y'know, deities that actually made sense.
Is the review positive or negative?
