2.0

This book was actually much darker than I expected it to be. I was anticipating a relatively light hearted imagining of what it might have been like on Noah's ark. Instead, there are moments of real brutal desperation, and provacative exploration of devour faith. I would really recommend this book to children and adults, as I think you could get very different things out of it depending on your current experiences of the world.
