Title: The Red Tent....ahhh...the smell of it...phew!
Review: I'm not familiar with the Old Testament, nor am I a mother. I have less than zero interest in the female bodily functions of others. I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies and I don't want to. That said, I found this book a chore. It was, in fact, an assignment for my book club. Had it not been, I would have steered clear of it. However, if these topics enthrall you, pick up the book and knock yourself out. None of the women portrayed were deeply drawn. Dinah (pronounced "dee nah") herself was not fully formed. The men were meer stick figures, less than two dimensional. It is, by far, the bloodiest book I've ever read. There is more blood and gore in this innocent novel than in any Steven King horror fest. At best, it's deeply superficial. And finally, I would not want to set foot in a red tent. Ohh...the smell of it. That's what I was left with.
