broccoliserbaby 's review for:

The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs

4.0

---

I've noticed that some of the more negative reviews criticize Jacobs for being less funny than in his previous book, but I don't think I'd want more Funny in this one. His thoughtful approach to what could be a controversial experiment was what kept me interested, personally. I appreciated his respect for the beliefs of those he interacted with, as well as his efforts at open-mindedness, and I found I was much more invested in the project than if it had just been a wacky recounting of the silly things the Bible says we should do.
