Title: Not really a biblical story
Review: While I really did not care for this book, my biggest problem is how they sell it as biblical fiction when it has so little in common with the Bible. As the reviewers before have noted, there is alot of paganism among the women, the "goddess" cult and "girl power" type stuff. The men are generally shown as capable of a few good moments, but mostly as self-serving and uncaring men. Besides the mismarketing, I was just bored by the book. Perhaps because I was expecting something to motivate me spiritually or at least excite me with great storytelling, but this book failed on all accounts. The writing style itself is not so bad, simply done and not overly descriptive but the story is a flop. Pass this one by in favor of The Robe or Quo Vadis or anything with more depth.
