Would have given it five stars but the writing, while conversational, sometimes feels like a drawn-out sermon. The material is fascinating, though and well-worth reading.
This book is sure a brain-twister, you sure need to go to the Bible and see for yourself what the author is saying or what other translations might say. Yet, there were so many gems in there, so much to consider that I ended up underlining a lot in this book. While the Midrash is mentioned quite a bit, you'd find that quite often it makes sense, other times you might completely disagree like I did, but still consider other Biblical interpretations of the text. It sure opened my mind to search for details in the text of the Bible, especially in familiar texts such as the Exodus. While a short review such as this, can't possibly give it justice, I sure hope it will peak your interest and give it a try. The author writes in such an entertaining way that it almost felt like I was watching a movie even though I knew how the story would end. You might also find it a fascinating read. I probably would give it a 4.5 stars but since I have no option for that and a 4 wouldn't be right, a 5 star it is.
