A review by internationalreads
A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

adventurous dark funny sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I loved the sarcasm and humor, but ultimately the biblical parallels were a little too heavy-handed for me.
