The Bible

[Peter Parka]

Have you read it and what did you think, objectively not as a religious book but generally how it was written? I've read it cover to cover. I personally found the method of recording things in it very poor.

 

[Zorak]

Well written in some places, not so well written in others.

What you'd expect really.

 

[Sdrawkcab]

The plot had lots of holes

 

[Doveshit]

I've always had trouble identifying with the protagonist

 

[Davidspud92]

i just could not read the bible all the way through because it is just too long

what did you think, objectively not as a religious book

sorry but this line cracked me up! :24:

I saw it at Borders the other day, and I wondered why it was not in the Christian fiction section. Beats me.

Read it, thought it was well written for Some of it. But most parts are entirely pointless and a waste of space and readers time. And some parts contradict other parts.

I feel the idea of a saviour who got crucified etc. would've been better as a standalone fictional novel. This idea was ruined by a lot of the rest of the bible, and by the people who take such a book as a history book, despite there not being enough evidence to prove that as fact.

I meant to vote "read it, thought it was badly written" but accidentally voted "read it, thought it was well written"

 

[Mystic]

too detailed and wordy...like a Stephen king novel.... put me to sleep many times.

 

[Alien Allen]

never read it

I hear Stephen King is a much better fiction writer though

i sorta see it as a long ago version of the "best short stories of the last fifty years"
some authors were better than others.

high marks for its ability to hold an audience, tho :nod:
