A review by annepw
The Holy Bible -King James Version by Anonymous

2.0

I considered being flip and reviewing this like proper literature, critiquing all the boring "filler" and the misogyny, the homophobia, xenophobia, what have you. And of course, all of that business makes the holy bible emphatically not a one hundred percent fun read. Who reads it for fun, though? If we're not reading it for religious purposes (which I was not), we're reading it to educate ourselves and maybe to pick out a cool story here and there (done and done). In particular I'm a fan of Saul and David, and of course the early interesting bits in Genesis and Exodus, Joshua Judges Ruth. And our nice tidy Gospels.
Of course, strictly speaking I didn't LIKE most of it. Glad I did it, though.
