First off, I thought the writing was beautiful, simple, and purposeful. Then the story itself was presented in a really fascinating way. Like, oh its this... no it's not! So good!

The way it was so effortless as well to present a take an such an old Bible story was amazing. There's not much else to say. Definitely not 5 stars by my standards, but amazing in its own way. Entertaining enough for 4, the beauty of the book and the story make up the .75.
