I was just looking at where I can get it, and my mom says, “I HAVE THAT BOOK!!!” 🤩🤪 So, I guess I’ll be able to read it this month! 😃😂 (I think we bought it at the Ark Encounter years ago)
I have a problem with Biblical fiction because so much of it is so poorly written but I just read the first chapter of Noah and I am looking forward to the rest of it.
Yay! Knowing you are enjoying it makes me excited to start! ☺️😁

I haven’t started it yet… hopefully I will soon!! 🤩
I can't figure out how to link my review. Maybe that's a computer thing, not on the app. But here's my review:I've finished the novel part. The first chapter was good. I felt the next couple were rather slow but they were setting up the story world. After that, it moved along at a steady pace.
As far as the story arc, I thought it was well thought out. I enjoyed the narrative part of the book. I didn't see a whole lot of character growth. The dialogue tended to be clunky. I do wish he had used more modern terms for the animals and vegetation. I spent too much background energy trying to figure out the orb fruit was lettuce and that the bounder was a rabbit. Just call it by the familiar name and let me focus on the story.
I did appreciate the way he moved in contradictions to many of the traditions we have regarding the preflood world, yet stayed true to the Biblical narrative.
The ending was satisfying, with a bit of a cliffhanger. I'm not sure that I will read through to the next book.
I have not read the back matter yet. But I'm familiar with the work of Answers in Genesis and I expect it to follow that line rather closely.

But that's a good review!
