review 1: I had heard about the Voynich Manuscript a few different times...the most recent being on a podcast. It seemed very interesting, so I finally got a chance to look it over today. I "read" it in one sitting, as no one knows how to decipher its text. Although I found the book very mysterious and thus interesting, I was a little disappointed at what was actually inside this manuscript. Most of the manuscript is just pictures of different plants with text around them. The art is okay, but not amazing. For me, the more interesting parts were 1) what seemed like astrological signs and religious figures and 2) the women who seem to be pregnant and are taking some sort of communal bath together. The beings that seem to be religious figures are all seated around a goat, which I foun... mored odd. Are the women undergoing some sort of fertility ritual? The Voynich Manuscript lives up to its reputation, and it is hard to know if we'll ever know what it all means. Definitely an odd read.
review 2: The Voynich Manuscript is a thrilling roller-coaster ride through the lives and loves of Jeb and Pants, two teenage boys in the 15th century struggling to understand the word as seen through a microscope with the assistance of seven comedy nymphs.Presented in a choose-your-own-adventure format, the story of Jeb and Pants is touching and filled with fraternal warmth, with the older, wiser twin Jeb caring deeply for his seconds-younger brother who was dropped on his head as a child. There is a darker underlying theme of corporate greed and identity theft as they struggle against alien lizard Nazis who want to suppress their discoveries. In their plight, they turn to the only adult who understands them - Roger Bacon, who becomes a mentor figure for their youthful adventures until he is gradually expunged from existence by people who don't understand that Francis Bacon is an entirely different person.Will the boys discover the fundamental building blocks of creation? Or will they be distracted by puberty and the potent force of naked girls in a pond? YOU DECIDE!**May not be remotely true. less
