Yuck! Who could possibly read this book based on biblical characters with such immoral themes! I got this book out of my house as quick as possible!

Continuum Contemporaries give readers accessible and informative introductions to some of the most popular, most acclaimed, and most influential novels of recent years. A team of contemporary fiction scholars from both sides of the Atlantic has been assembled to provide a through and readable analysis of each of the novels in question. The books in the series all follow the same structure: a biography of the novelist, including other works, influences, and, in some cases, an interview; a full-length study of the novel, drawing out the most important themes and ideas; a summary of how the novel was received upon publication; a summary of how the novel has performed since publication, including film or television adaptations, literary prizes, and so forth; a wide range of suggestions for further reading, including web sites and discussion forums; and a list of questions for reading groups to discuss.

I learned that this is somewhat a true story. I did not realize that a lot if what is in the book is in the Bible. I did not really like it because it portrayed Joseph of the Coat of many colors as not such a good man.

Dear sweet lord if ever there was a book written by a woman FOR women, this is it. I only picked it up because my wife had been raving about it and our oldest daughter had also enjoyed it. Never again. Chicks only.

A fascinating read, but ultimately seemed more fantasy than real possibility. Appeals to feminine fantasy of a time that was idyllic, which never was.

Ok, so everyone loved it and I hated the first 100 pages. I finally threw in the towel after the sentence " her breasts ached to give suck". Painful narrative for me.

This book gave me some insight as to what life was like in Biblical times. It would fall into the category of feminist writing. It is bewitching, you won't be able to put it down. I was hungry for more at the end and it continues to haunt me.

This book was the first book club reading for a book club that I never joined. A few years later, I went back and read it for fun. It was a very interesting read. A little disturbing and awe inspiring at the same time. It was one of those books that made me sit back and think about how lucky we are to have been born in modern times.
