Thank you! Love wishlist books!

Sadly, time for my yearly book purge. I will look for a new home for this one.

Sending as a RABCK to Delphi_Reader. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your generosity! The book arrived today. I'm looking forward to read this.

This was a quick, light and pleasant novel. The theme is the biblical flood from the moment Noe receives Yahweh's instructions to build the ark and collect the amimals, till the moment his children scatter all over the world after the flood in order to create humanity again.

The Preservationist is written in small chapters, narrated on an easy prose. Narrators change among chapters. Noe's chapters are sometimes told by himself, sometimes through a third person perspective, while the other chapters are narrated either by one of his sons, either by his wife, either by one or his daughters in law. The author tries to give each person his own distinct voice and to describe not only the family's struggle on the matter at hand, to fullfill god's instructions, but also he tries to describe the relationships among family members, each character's personal struggles and how each one develops or changes through the flood's experience and what happens among them afterwards.

Well, I think some hype around this book is exaggerated somehow. This book was sometimes witty, sometimes moving, most times mildly engaging, but I don't think it's that briliant or hilarious or strictly an amazing story of faith and survival as some comments made it to be...But for sure it's a book that keeps one's interest and it can easily be read in an afternoon or two.

Thank you ApoloniaX for registering and lauraloo29 for sending it over.

The Preservationist got itchy feet again, so it's now traveling to Ipswich, UK in order to support a new Official Book Crossing Zone! And then... who knows?

Good Luck little book and don't forget to write your news from time to time!

Safely received in the post and reserved for the Official BookCrossing zone at the University of Suffolk, the venue for the UnCon in Ipswich. Thank you Delphi_Reader.
