I'm disappointed - the attitudes of the men and women in this book do not mirror the biblical story much. The Bible is specific about some of the details that are incorrectly attributed or ignored, like the amount of time that Jacob worked for Laban in order to marry Rachel. The constant prayers and references to gods and goddesses other than Jehovah God, and various other perversions are things I don't enjoy reading. I realize this is fiction, and yes, the story-telling of the author is rich. But, I couldn't stand it, and I've decided to read something else.
