 Don't Leave It Lying Around the House October 24, 2008
2 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book should never be left where it could fall into the hands of children. Recurrent themes of bloody violence, murder, racism, incest and rape are dealt with extremely irresponsibly. Horrific events are presented as justified by circumstances and as solutions to petty wrongs.
Worse than the depictions in the book are actual historic examples of such depictions being used to justify the worst kind of degradation and humiliation that humans have ever been forced to endure. These acts are not just inspired by this book, but characters in the book urge its readers to follow its example. Worst of all, however, is that, despite this book's obvious lack of coherent logic or sense, it inexplicably possesses a following of people that somehow find comfort in its horror.
No doubt about it, the horrific images, and lack of intelligent discussion of those images, contained in this book makes it entirely unsuitable for children, or sensible adults.
It is very doubtful that a book that meanders so terribly, and contradicts itself so often, is truly inspired by a deity. What you will read in here can be found in other mythologies. There is nothing truly unique about it.
Upon close scrutiny, we discover that the content of Bible is a compilation of historically and archaeologically unsupportable Myths such as Noah's ark, Abraham, Joseph, David, Solomon, etc.
 the Good Book October 5, 2008
It is a little larger than I expected, but is a large print version of
the King James Version Bible that I wanted.
A good no-frills Bible September 28, 2008

I bought this Bible as a gift for a person with aging eyesight, who wanted a good, plain Bible and didn't need footnotes, study guides, etc. It's just what he wanted, but has one drawback. The red print passages are difficult for a person with poor eyesight to read. They are faded in appearance, and not as bright and clear as they should be.
 Not great for a quick read July 14, 2008

The book is too long, bleak and unappealing. The constant reminder of this so called "god" character was repeated too much and got old. It wasn't a good read. I suggest The Lord of the Rings.
 Trippiest Read in a Long Time June 17, 2008

Reading this book is basically the same thing as taking a LOT of shrooms. Don't try doing both at the same time.
Warning: Reading this book may cause life-long irrationality.
