review 1: Really fascinating subject, lots of interesting ideas here -- but I found the writing repetitive and some of the author's beliefs seemed odd in context. The first part of this book worked best for me -- Roberts analyzes the biblical account of Eve's temptation in the garden of Eden, putting an eye-popping sexual spin on the tale. I found this truly fascinating, as it framed the story in an entirely new (and surprisingly believable) light. Where the book lost my attention was towards the end, where the author descends into the realm of the supernatural, speculating that the Nephilim are around even today, although in spiritual form. As a non-believer in ghosts and/or demons, this wasn't really anything I found all that compelling. An okay read for those interested in t... morehe subject, but don't expect a lot of detail here -- and you may want to consider borrowing this one rather than buying it.
review 2: Originally published at BethsBookReviews.com.First of all, the author works from the idea that the bible is a historically accurate document. From that view there were quotes from it on nearly every page. Fine, I could deal with that. What I absolutely could not deal with was the propaganda about Moses and the Egyptian pharaohs. The author seemed to just ignore all archaeological evidence entirely and go into some sort of fantasy scenario.I had to abandon this after that section. The bible quotes became increasingly oppressive, and the accomanying "evidence" just too far fetched. It wasn't even mildly amusing enough to pretend that it was science fiction.Frankly this mixture of pseudoscience and religion was just too bizarre. The best I can say for it is that it was a nicely bound trade paperback with a readable font. Give it a pass. Really, don't even crack it open, just step away. less
