One word comes to mind when I think about this book...boring.

I'm sorry, but I could just not get into this book. I like the idea, a telling of the story of Moses through the eyes of his wife. I like the idea, I like the story of Moses...but I don't know. This version just seemed watered down and ridiculous.

The author went on and on about how Zipporah (sometimes spelled Tzippora in some versions of the Bible) is half black and how "no man would marry her" because of it. It makes Moses seem like he has either some sort of fetish or is sorry for her because of that.

Also, do we really need three whole paragraphs about Moses's buttocks glistening in the water while he skinny-dips? I got it, the guy has a good body, let's move on.

This book was just an obvious display of a man trying unsuccessfully to write from a woman's point of view. I know many male authors who have done this well...unfortunately Mr. Halter is not one of them.
