Bad plot, great to smoke if you run out of papes

Spoiler:
Sweet idea with that one guy sacrificing himself, but I don’t think that the sacrifice still counts if he came back after 3 days, he sacrificed a weekend not his life

This does not have a very coherent plot and the main character felt a little overpowered compared to everyone else, also not enough gay I mean where was the flavour?

How on Earth am I suppose to rate and review the Bible?

Update: I just checked other reviews and apparently I am NOT suppose to rate or review this.... it's not safe

Never really finished it because it because the fan base kept telling me I HAD to like it; Plus they kept trying to make the story into some kind of LARP where they pretend that they have to worship the character named “God” as if he were real.

Kinda weird if you ask me, but that’s not what really got me.

It got worse when I realized that entire wars were waged over who liked this book - and to this day, it’s fanbase continues to hurt and ostracize people just because they aren’t a fan.

I don’t like this edition, but The Bible is a good book for historical studies. I enjoy learning details about this religion, and enjoy knowing the guidelines of a large portion of the population.

I rather enjoy 4 versions: KJV, ESV, NLT and The Message paraphrase in parallel. King James is lyically superior.

Pros: This book was a quick and easy read.

Some of the overarching themes are conveyed in a true-to-life style without overwhelming the fantastical aspects of the many short stories written here. With a multitude of Authors involved, the reader is given multiple perspectives. This is a very creative book that lays down concepts that will leave other fantasy authors palming their foreheads and thinking to themselves, "why didn't I think of that?".

Cons: The main Character (God) is lacking depth, dynamic, and consistency. He is surprisingly hypocritical and quick to anger towards people who make mistakes around him, which is odd considering that he already knew the mistakes would be made long before they ever were. He's extremely possessive and makes very unreasonable demands from other characters in the book. He also made someone pregnant without their consent, and condones slavery. could say more about the main character but this review would turn into a novel. The Ending of the book was pretty cryptic and crazy but everything leading up to that part was pretty bland, and the overall ending left me feeling like the author could have done more. This book fell short in many areas and I feel like the author could have taken some more time to really refine his work.

The main antagonist of the book (Satan) is pretty much everything a reader could want from a Fantasy villain. He's cunning, conniving, stupendously overpowered, and easily the best part of the entire book. He's honestly the only reason this book got two stars from me instead of one.

Overall takeaway: You're much better off reading Tolkien or Sanderson.
