Book Reviews of Boldtext Pew Bible: King James Version
Book Review: Non fiction?
Summary: 1 Stars
The book looks genuine from the outside with leather and all.
However when starting reading it I immediately noticed several things that contradicts itself. For one, no sources what so ever in a non-fiction book. Two: in the first chapter the writers claim that "God" created the earth the heaven and everything and saw that it was good on day one. Then created numerous things the following days and saw that it was good. Then on the seventh day. Then it created light... How come it could see? A "God" that can see in darkness surely must have the technique to multi task. Why not just create it all in one day and save time?
The book speaks of circumcising little children, rape, murder, stoning, sex, burning bushes and other hash psychosis-like incidents. The book even tells people to stone people to death for several reasons. For instance by growing different kinds of crop in the same field or even by wearing clothes made with different kinds of thread. According to that I would be killed not only for growing potatoes and carrots plus much more but by wearing Lee jeans or having shopped at H&M... How sick isn't that.
In the second part of the book a character named Jesus is introduced. This person clearly has disillusions. It seems as if he a) thinks of him self as a "God", which with modern health care would have been dealt with by a psychiatrist. B) Claims he can make wine out of water, heal people and not least has immortality. An CBS 60 minutes program would have dealt with this as it has with modern TV broadcasting priests. C) Seems to have some split personality disorder. The character seems to think he is the same person as his father and a spirit. Also he seems to be the same person who has written most of the "new testament", namely Paul. The writer seems to have glorified his actions; a well known fact among psychopaths and especially psychosis patients.
In my opinion this book should have a warning label for children as well as being in the horror category or at least fiction. It clearly is not a fact based book.
Book Review: Meh, no cited sources
Summary: 1 Stars
This book claims its a work of non-fiction yet it is lacking in its citations. It is very hard to to believe the author's claim that the book is based on fact. Mentioning the author, I cant seem to find him either. If I turned in a piece of work like this into one of my professors, they would probably laugh at me and tell me to get my head out of the clouds and work on something more realistic, like bigfoot.Book Review: Full of problems and confusing storyline.
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeeesh. Talk about Deus-ex-machina. Every time something bad is about to happen, this secondary character Ged, or something like that, comes in and just fixes it. It's real ambiguous how he did it too, and I'm wondering if there is some translation error. For instance, he has the uncanny ability of killing most anyone with what appears to be the flick of his wrist - without even acknowledging that he's been in the room this whole time - and in addition most of the killings appear to be the wrong person or a whole group of people. I was extremely confused on why the portrayed antagonist, The Devil, ends up with a body count of 10 while the good guy kills like a million plus. Characters who were written to be dead seem to show up at later events, the writing style is really choppy with the chapters lasting about 1 page, and at some points it just gives up and begins listing things that happened in some childish numerical format.
If it's satire, then I've completely missed the point. I think it's really overrated and have no idea what the fan-club down the street talks about every Sunday.
Book Review: Most Valued Sleep Aid for Insomniacs
Summary: 5 Stars
I have suffered from insomnia for decades. I've tried various remedies, both folk and prescribed, to no avail. One night when I found there was no other reading material in the house I picked up this book. It was only three pages before I dozed off. It took me years to get through Genesis.
Thank you King James for providing the most dull fiction ever to help insomniacs achieve blissful sleep!
Book Review: Just a suggestion
Summary: 5 Stars
How about this? Instead of everyone pushing their religious viewpoints on one another over an online retail review, we review the product. In this instance the product would be considered the particular way in which the literature is presented. Such as binding, print, footnotes, material, and such. Maybe I'd like to know if there's one of those little ribbons to mark my spot, or if the words of Christ are in red, or if the cover is a nice soft leather. I don't really care what your viewpoint on the litterary content is, I want to know about the construction of the document as a whole. If I wanted to argue points about the content, I would go to a forum, seminary, or coffee shop. However, thank you to the one lonely review that did review this item as a product and not a debate.
