I felt this book had a very scattered perspective. Almost as if there were several different authors. The editing could have been better in order to eliminate the dry spots. (Begat, begat, begat, etc.... Boooooring.) Solomon's Song.... ??? What the heck was that all about. Also there were several highly unlikely characters. People living 900 Years?? 9 foot tall giants?? I'm dead, wait I'm not?? It's MY baby, no it's MY baby. Moms... wouldn't you know your baby? It is a little disconcerting you must admit. 50/50 then...??? Hmmm... it will be interesting to get a definitive interpretation to the cryptic almost phsycotic babblings at the end. And was it 7 seals.... or 7 sea lions? Anyway... still trying to figure it all out.

It WAS written by different people. And since when did history have to be interesting?

Your review makes me groan in annoyance to your blindness. It's..ridiculous. I'm sorry, I had to say it. [[shudder:]]
Who is the author of this? Will anyone tell me? Pleeeaaaasse?
If someone was to edit it's mistakes, who would do it? Or certify it? Jesus?

If you think the begats are annoying, try reading the Iliad with it's chronicling of soldiers.If you hate men that are 9 feet tall, you should prob steer clear of Gulliver's travels. Or any magical realism, for that matter.
People not knowing who their child is reminds me of a certain bit from a famous book...what was it called...oh, Catch 22.
Give credit where credit is due; the Bible invented Western Literature 2000 years before you even knew it existed.
Chris: you completely missed the point. And as a matter of fact, it was written by different authors, throughout several hundred years. The Bible is a collection of books.
