Alisa W. (caliope220) reviewed A pleasant surprise in the realm of Christian fiction! on + 16 more book reviews
I have never claimed to be a fan of Christian literature in any form, and most likely never will. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised at the incredible depth and spirit of this book. Joseph is not only incredibly well-written in general (and truly astounding when compared to similar Christian historical fiction) but it is chock full of humor, heart, and real life lessons that Christians and non-Christians alike can learn from.
Forget the cliched story of Joseph you grew up hearing about- Fivash presents him as the real person he was. He made mistakes, he doubted God, long story short- he was human, just like you and me. I cannot stress enough how much I absolutely love this book and encourage you to read it.
The only word of advice I have, and which I see has been mentioned by other reviewers is this: Make time in your schedule to read it, because you won't be able to put it down once you've started!
