I don't know where to begin with this review.  This book was not at all what I was expecting it to be.   I was expecting a story that had a creative feel but that was closely in line with the Bible.  I have to tell you that after a few chapters I stopped reading it  because I was upset with the author.  But I did finish reading it! 
The Story is just that a fiction story that (you can say) takes place or continues  where the story of Job in the Bible ends ( it was all a little confusing to me excatly what time it takes place).  We don't know what took all took place in  the Book of Job.  I had to remind myself of this when I began to read it again.
It was a delightful book to read.   I was pleased with it (after I overcame my own expectations).

This book just proved to me that  you never know what is behind the cover until you began to read and get captivated by it.    I am glad that I did in fact read this book.  Take time, lose all your preconceived expectations and read it, you will be delighted.
