Back in high school my best friend introduced me to the writings of Timothy Findley. This story in particular is amazing, it is the "real" story of Noah and the Ark told by several narrators.

I have decided to offer this book as my first book ring.
The order so far is:

8 out of 10

This book is on a list of the "top 100 reads" that I am trying to finish. It took me longer than usual to read through this book - not one that you can just breeze through over a weekend!! I enjoyed the style of writing and hearing the "Noah's Ark" story from all the voices of the characters especially from Mottyl's point of view. I found the "death of the unicorn" section very disturbing and found myself really disliking Noah immensely throughout the book!! (I don't think I would recommend this book to someone like my Mom - aka 'the church lady' LOL)
Thanks to HeyEcho for sharing - that takes one more off my list!!!

I picked this up from another bookcrosser. It would appear to be rather controversial so I am looking forward to it. I won't have much time to read for a while since we are moving soon but I will try to put it somewhere near the top when I move Mt.TBR.
