Interesting interpretation.

The retelling uses what must be the result of the referred to 5 years of research but without a single footnote or bibliographic reference.  It is interesting at times, I liked tender character of James and the intelligent, feisty Mary.

This is an interesting story intertwined with some historical fact.  The story provides some alternative interpretation of historical fact, but is presented as fiction.

It is an interesting read, so far.  I find myself reading and re-reading it, thinking about the implications of the insights presented and wanting to make sure I understand what the footnotes say.

An interesting look at the times that created Jesus as an historical figure in juxtaposition to what we understand of him as a religious figure from sacred texts. It is the sort of thinking critical to understanding the life of Jesus whether or not you are a Christian.

I found the  book to be quite interesting and thought provoking.

It has provided me with some insight which I had not previously detected.

I enjoyed reading this.  While I would not consider it the definitive subject matter it does provide another perspective/case about the First World War that is not considered often.  Whether that is because it is false or just because it is un-explored by the general public is up to the individual reader to decide.  It definitely was a fresh take, reviewing well-worn events from a different perspective and viewing them through a different lens.  I enjoyed it for what it is.

Very different from most of his writing, although the circumstances previous to the writing had certainly colored his outlook. Still, very worthy of reading because of the different angle from which it is written.

The author leaves the interpretation open to the reader. In the world of so many injustices the story gives a view of what a utopian world could look like without color or race. The ending leaves me wondering could there be any other outcome for the boys.

I love how this is in chronological order. And so far it seems to be outstanding. There might be much to interpretation, but you kind of get the drift.

This book has a more unique viewpoint than most others of its type, which makes it a bit more interesting. It takes more thought to analyze the entries, so that it serves as a "wake up" medium for emphasis when it accompanies other thoughts that one wants to express.

I like how she told the story from man different perspectives.  It was an event I had never heard about before.  Much to ponder on

Very interesting from a different perspective..

Having read through the "regular" bible several times, I find this version interesting.  I don't know that I would suggest it as a first read, but it is insightful.  It should definitely interest history buffs as it brings events together as they happened.  (or close to it)  While this version may have its place, I would not want to be the one(s) who compiled it because of the admonition to not add or subtract from scripture.

Leaving lots of room for interpretation, the title really suits the content. Each piece is truly an inkling; a vague notion or slight hint of an idea. It's really up to the reader to self-interpret the meaning behind the words. A collection of seemingly random thoughts and ideas, the pieces mirror many of the fleeting thoughts we all have daily. But rather than floating briefly through our heads, these thoughts are written down in detailed prose that helps to convey the feelings behind the ideas.

Some of the selections needed to be read twice to catch the meaning- in fact, I can't claim to have fully understood all of them- and others were almost poetic in their presentation. "So What" and "Always" are probably my favorites, and I found I much preferred the author's shortest selections to many of the longer ones. Somehow, the more succinct pieces seemed almost more complete, leaving me to really put my own interpretative spin on them. The longer selections left me feeling like I should be understanding more of the author's intent, and I wasn't always sure I did. An exception to that was "The Revolt of the Coconut Trees" which felt complete and thought provoking, and left little room for errant interpretation.

Music is a very personal thing to all who have ears and a mind to critique.  I own various versions of The Planets performed by various orchestras and led by different conductors.  Some recordings I find no end of delight listening to them again and again.  Other interpretations I listen to once and realize I am satisfied, not wishing to return.  This interpretation has received several very complementary reviews and many indicate this as an outstanding interpretation.  For me this is one of those I place in the column of not wishing to return.  I found various pieces cumbersome and drawn out.  Laborious is the best word I can offer.  For those that think highly of it good for you.  As for me I will return to those interpretations I enjoy and use this as a learning experience.

It is a good study of Revelations; different from others in the way it is approached.  I felt like I learned something from this study.
