Holy Bible (Hardcover)

Read the reviews. [scroll down]

As a book 'The Bible' starts well, but you soon find yourself bogged down in the backstory and unable to grasp everything before you end up launched into the main plot almost half way through the novel.

Lots of death and destruction that makes you feel a little like Doctor Who visiting the Tractites... Not quite as philanthropically elucidating as, say, Slaughterhouse Five, in the meaning-of-life department, but still an interesting read.

The first part is long-winded. The stuff in the back is wicked cool.

The God character seems to have been oddly portrayed; especially considering the vast amount of praise people seem to give him. He comes across as a egotistical psychopath, who's obsessed with maintaining his own glory at the expense of the humans he 'created'. Whilst this theme is interesting to start with (the destruction of the 7 tribes part particularly fun), it soon becomes dull.
