		<description>The holy Bible was changed and re-written, now the holy Quran has not been changed for what like 1400 years? and all relgious leaders agree to that...Now this is the freak bit, if you count the number of times it says the word 'water' and the number of times it says 'land' and u get the exact water:land ratio...and that was only discovered recently...</description>

		<description>I simply did not like this book! I understand it was to be a collection of short stories, fictional, but that they were meant to be tied into actual history of the times.
Well, this is entirely false! The history of the times as presented in this book is garbled and full of misconceptions.
Anybody who reads this be warned- do NOT follow the history presented as verbatim.
Also, there is rampant contradictions within many of the stories themselves.
For example, the main character, who is variously known as "Yahweh" or "God" or "Lord" is said to be loving and kind and wants to protect the people. Yet, he then turns around and "smites" people left and right, through a variety of methods such as famine, disease, flood, (that was a biggy) and in some cases, downright insanity. Yet, the people love him anyway, and continue to talk about what a great God he is. The only sense I can make of it is that the people had that syndrome where a person held against their will comes to love the captors.
Although I understood the stories to be fantasy, I still was tangled up by the lack of flow in general. Even in fantasy, the plot should tie up and make some sort of sense on that realm.
For instance, the first story of this book, where the Lord used magical incantations to create the universe, the earth, animals and plants and then the first people, there is a huge question presented that I have yet to see answered. The Lord said "let US make man in OUR own image"
Who was he talking to, if he was the sole Lord God?
It is sloppy writing to introduce characters into a story and then not explain them somehow, someway.
Also I'd like to point out rampant plagiarism. Many of these stories are obviously (very poorly) copied from earlier legends and tales of the Sumerians- many thousands of years before Jesus was even a twinkle in his daddy's eye.
Yet I see no reference anywhere to credit the original source. I think somebody ought to be sued, but since we aren't clear on who the authors of this ill-begotten book really are, I guess no action can be taken.
How did this book ever get published?

Crazy.</description>

		<description>I picked up a copy of this book but was dismayed to find a the first page missing.  I enquired as to the missing page and found that it was missing from *all* copies.

I managed to discover what the missing page was, it began with:

"All characters portayed in this book are purely fictional and any resemblance to people alive or dead is purely coincidental"

		<description>The missing imprint page reads… 
(King James I had it removed)

all persons in this novel are fictitious and any similarity between anyone living, dead, resurrected (i.e. Zombies) or in a limbo like state, are purely coincidental and the author shall not be held responsible for any actions or beliefs resulting from the reading of this material</description>

		<description>Brilliant - nice find.

"I picked this up because I heard it advertised as the Gospel, which translates to "good news." It opens up by telling the reader how the human race is doomed because two poorly developed characters ate an apple that a snake told them to eat.

That's not good news."</description>

		<description>The comments are the best side-effect of this 'top 10 list'. My favorite: I love what "Ben" says... “”Revelations” was pretty weird, sort of like watching “Fantasia” while doing mushrooms, only a lot scarier.”</description>

		<description>A few more I found

"Very historically accurate portrayal of what actually 
happened. I finally realize that Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are LIES. The magic in this book is more realistic."

"You know what's funny? Monkeys and Midgets. You know what's not? This book, it's serious. Don't buy it. Get a copy from a Jehova's witness next time they come to your door."

"I would have liked to hear the story from a first person narrative dictated by "the Son". His pain and struggle had a glimmer of potential but lacked in it's Harry Potter type "magic". Bringing back a man from the dead? Doctors do that all the time. How about some flying or love spells... now that I could read about. I am looking forward to a possible sequel though, there's a chance the author could fix some of his confusions and find the focus of the story. Mel Gibson did wonders with the film adaptaion and I wish the book could have lived up to it. It's perhaps the only case where the picture outshined the novel. Better try next time though!"

"Based on all the hype, I thought this book would change my life. But it didn't. In fact, I found it to be fairly disjointed and at times, contradictory. There were too many perspectives and the story didn't really even have a cohesive plot. This is the most overrated book I've read since The Da Vinci Code!"

"I'm not generally a fan of fantasy fiction, but I felt obligated to read this title, it being the popular example of the genre. The story has a good premise that I can't help but think suffers in its implementation"

""Revelations" was pretty weird, sort of like watching "Fantasia" while doing mushrooms, only a lot scarier."

"There arent enough good fights in this book and I think harry potter is better at magic than Jerus. Some magic was great like the feeding of one hundred from only ten or eleven fish but apart from that nothing special. Read most but not all of it as after Noer, it was kind of boring. That guy lived for years!! Update: Finished. Good ending."</description>
