I am currently working on my Master's Thesis, but I procrastinate by reading all the books I can! In the meantime, I have a good job with fun people.

Sarah

Sarah
By Marek Halter

Well, nothing like changing a little history, huh? Here's a tip: if you're going to write a story based on the Bible, don't contradict things in the Bible! That's just silly and makes you look like you didn't do your homework. Let's see, Abram and Sarai were half-siblings, not strangers who met in a stream one night. Pharoah ended up with a skin disease when he wanted to sleep with Sarai, thinking she was Abram's sister instead of wife. He didn't, as this book so... graphically describes it, sleep with her. Well-written and an interesting concept, but it didn't quite work for me.
5/10
