Book Reviews of The Red Tent (Bestselling Backlist)
Book Review: Really interesting book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a fictional book based on actual people in the bible. It was extremely interesting and entertaining. I loved the story line and it was probably one of the most unique books that I have read in a long time. I found myself wanting to open up the bible along side the book to see where the bible ended and the fictional story began. This was a great concept!Book Review: A page-turner
Summary: 4 Stars
A really interesting read. I found this story fascinating, entertaining, and well-written. Couldn't put it down.Book Review: Not Biblically accurate
Summary: 1 Stars
This book portrays the women of the Bible as worshiping many other gods but not Abraham's God. I found this very disturbing as I have read other great books by Orson Scott Card (Sarah) (Rebekah) (Rachel) in the "Women of Genesis" series that are so inspiring and are faithful to the Bible account. I know this book has received good reviews but I believe it is because the readers have not read better, more accurate accounts. Another recommended writer is Lynn N. Austin's series called 'Chronicles of the King.' The first book in this series is "The Lord is my Strength." There are 5 books in this series and you will feel yourself being pulled closer to God and prayer. All of Lynn Austin's books are wonderful and so good you will not want to put them down.Book Review: Christians Beware!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to read this book when I found it on favorite books lists of those who I have a lot in common. I was shocked in the first chapter how "off base" the author is. I understand that this is a work of fiction. But I take offense when the basis for the fictional story is the Bible and the fictional story is so vulgar. I understand that the people mentioned in the Bible did not lead perfect lives. Please do not make a mockery of the sacredness of the Bible. If you wnat to read some quality Biblical fiction check out Francine Rivers' books on Tamar, Ruth, etc.Book Review: A Fairy Tale
Summary: 1 Stars
The author made no attempt to follow the Biblical account of Jacob and Rachel. She took a Bible story and turned it into a bastardized version for sensationalism and the bucks. I was disappointed because I really wanted to like this novel. Had she created fictional characters for her story I'm sure I would have felt differently. As it is, the only use she made of the Bible was a source to name her characters, so it doesn't surprise me that the secular world gave her glowing reviews.
