Usama has put his life on the line to bring the truth about islam to the world who will listen.  He was born and raised speaking Arabic, and he breaks down the quran verse by verse and line by line.  Do yourself and your friends and family a favor; educate yourself on the agenda of islam.

This is absolutely one of the best translations of Gilgamesh available.  Andrew George gives us a taste of what the original versification was like.  He also translates all the extant versions and fragments of versions of the epic, and this is important.  Not only do the versions augment each other and fill in the gaps that time and entropy have literally carved, shattered, and eroded into the original tablets, but they key us into the variations that the generations of years of cross-cultural retellings have wrought.  Gilgamesh becomes Bilgames, etc. etc.  Finally, an appendix at the back of the book discusses the process of translating the text from the tablets.  In many ways this is the most fascinating part of this volume.  Along with these good points, we are treated to line drawings taken from period artwork illustrating the epic, so we see the gods, goddesses, and strange monsters as they were visualized by the Babylonians.  Highly recommended!

For one whose native tongue is not English or for one that has a minimal education, this translation being accurate in interpretation brings the content down to the level in which one can grasp the meaning easily without resorting to a dictionary.

I have read it from cover to cover and find it a very good translation and worthy of ones time. It compares very well to other translations.

Great translation. One of my favourites. Though I definitely recommend reading it alongside one or two more - the intersection between translations is profound and personal.

I highly encourage this translation. It is a bit different from the KJV, the books are in a different order. The names are true to the Hebrew. Some of the critical words in verses are also more correct. Phrasing has also been adjust to give a more genuine understanding of what the authors had intended-as true as a translation to English can be anyway. For any person questioning why Christianity doesn't have more evidence of its Jewish origins, this book will absolutely help you in understanding your curiosity.

This book's English is much easier to understand than any other Scripture translation. Because of that, you won't have to stop and think to yourself, " What did I just read?". Instead you'll be much more relaxed and able to read much more through an evening and you won't feel so mentally tired when you are done.
You may even find yourself done with the book before you know it!

Yah bless!

I liked this book very much as a translation assist.  It gives a very literal translation, from which the reader can easily make a correspondence with the lexicon and grammatical structure of the original Anglo Saxon text.  I would recommend it for anyone who is reading these old English poems in the original language.

The modern english translations helped tremendously! I could understand what the book said in case my teacher didn't explain it well enough to me or if i was reading it on my own.

I cherished this book as a bilingual child and seeing it again as an adult has made me genuinely tear up.such a great, fun book! As stated by others, the translation is very accurate while maintaining the playfulness in either language. Ordering it in hardcover for myself!

If you are interested in this story then this is an excellent translation to buy.  I have another copy of the book at home and it is from a translation that is about 100 years old.  This one does bring forth more clarity of the text and imagery than the older copy.  Great story too.  Worth the time it took to read it.
