This points out a few of the similarities that are held among the creation stories and even shows some of the connections of poetry style from this babylonian text and hebrew texts. (less)

Besides the point it's probably just another version though the isbn is the same. Some of the stories may be a little on the irreverent side to say the least. I think Chaucer's idea is quite original and the stories are all interesting and with some moral. it can get wordy and long at times.(less)

I think if it were a bit shorter it could have had slightly larger text and the readability would have been better. As far as content it is full of interesting ideas and facts.(less)

Honestly I didn't really like the format of letters from one person to another. All in all it was just ok. I haven't read any other of Austen's books yet, but I think this one is a bit different from the others. And, when you take in to account that Austen didn't have it published, you realize that maybe she herself didn't really care for it. (less)

I liked it alot more than I though I was going to. It kept me reading. It's a quick read, and it is entertaining enough. Two brothers with no concience or well you'd have to read it to wonder yourself if they're good at all or not. (less)

I wish someone had taught me these methods many moons ago instead of having to seek them out myself. P.s. I did this with my speech-to-text application so please forgive the errors.(less)
