Dissapointing,
This review is from: Asenath, Daughter of Egypt (Paperback)
Even the cover was a turn off. Economy version I'm sure. The plot was nice, interesting, but the characters and descriptions of daily life...very dissapointing. I usually get into books like these, but found it impossible with this one. Very repetitive language, the characters were lacking "character". The person who wrote it didn't know how to put the whole together, for the descriptions seemed to jump from one pharagraph to the next. There are many books of this type and much more satisfying so think twice before you buy this one.

This review is from: Asenath, Daughter of Egypt (Paperback)
This is a very well written and entertaining book. A beautiful story based on the life of an intruiging bible character. A definite "must read" for everyone.

This review is from: Asenath, Daughter of Egypt (Paperback)
I agree with the review stating "disappointing." Where could I possibly begin.... yes, the cover was horrible, and the overall book (writing style, characters, and plot) was ridiculous. No development, flat stereotypes, and just plain bad writing. Great if you want some campy fun, other than that, I wouldn't recommend this. At all.
Let me give an example of the absurdities: in the scene where Joseph decides which brother to keep as a hostage, he eliminates Reuben and Judah, as they had been kind to him, then holds up eight fingers to Asenath and tells her to pick one. Asenath chooses a random finger, then he says, "OK, it'll be Simeon I'll keep as hostage then." I wish I could say I was joking. But this part was so unbelievably weird, it made me literally laugh out loud. And this is just to begin with. Such an awful book, that it brought to mind another poor retelling of Joseph's story, albeit in film medium: 'Joseph and His Brethren', starring Geoffrey Horne as Joseph and Vira Silenti as Asenath.
