A Children's Bible by Lydia MilletMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I read this book based on the intriguing sounding review it received in the number one slot on the NY Times list of the 'best books' of 2020. Fake News NY Times! If you want to read about a apocalyptic dystopia try 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. If you want to read about children living amongst themselves without adults try 'The Lord of the Flies' by William Golding. And finally, for literary biblical allusions, I'd suggest 'East of Eden' by John Steinbeck. This book tried all three. It's main saving grace is that it is quite short, so I was able to finish it in a few hours. Had it been longer, I would have had to score this one a 'did not finish'.
