I can't agree with you anymore. I am one of those who think that since the book is fictional, it is a good as it is and ought to be enjoyed by all as such; because we do not have facts to compare against the book.spencermack wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 23:29 It's a work of fiction so different readers will carry different understandings. Every book can confirm biases or help people change. Depends on the person.

I also couldn't figure out what kind of book this was. Overall, I didn't like it. I thought it disrespectful to the source material and the modern-day colloquial dialogue made it seem, well, just silly.Leen282 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 00:16 I can't help but wonder if the author is serious or joking when he writes about Eve and her willingness to submit to Adam. Even Adam's reply sounds sarcastic to me: "That went well. She is going to listen to me after all. This is going to be easy."
I would prefer the author to make sure from the start that the reader knows if the author is writing a serious book or if he is adding comments like the above to add humor.
