 Posted: 07/28/06 - 03:12 Post subject: The Bible. WARNING likely spoilers
Have any of you been reading some of the topics in the 'On Topic Forum' lately?
Phew!!!! .... heavy stuff, a couple of threads certainly had me scratching my head.
Well, this prompted me to get out the Bible and have yet another read, so here is a working mans review rather than a scholarly report.
At present I'm up to the end of the Gospels, so many twists and turns in the plot!
I love the early chapters about Creation and that Moses bloke, felt that some bits after that needed a bit of editing. I guess perhaps God is such a big name now that no one dared edit the text down a bit.
Nice introduction of new characters with the prophets, really seems to be building to something.
This Jesus character that was introduced in the last book is certainly one to watch, odd how he suddenly started to dominate, but guess it was an inevitable consequence of the book before, the death was certainly a shock, and sad to see new characters such as Judas killed off so soon.
So what will happen in the next book? My prediction is that Peter will pair off with Mary Magdalene, Jesus will turn out to be Elijah, and everyone will live happily ever after.
Not much explicit sex but plenty of mystery.
All in all I doubt it will sell.
My guess is they will give them away.
