Helpful Score: 2

OK but a little disappointing. My favorite novel of Esther (by that title) is by Norah Lofts. This book was very obviously a first attempt at fiction. Even as a Christian, I found the "religious" parts rather heavy-handed. The story starts and ends with a modern-day Israeli girl named Hadassah in the days before her wedding and on her wedding night. Didn't care for that part. A friend saw the movie made from this book and loved it. The book tells the Biblical parts according to Scripture, but the "fillers" and the writing style didn't suit me.
