Review: Great cartoons; multiple errors
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 15, 2014
I have the Kindle edition of this book. On my tablet if you double-tap the picture, it enlarges. The pictures are comic-book sized, so they would be harder to read if you do not do this. The cartoons are in color and are done well.Because of the below errors in the book you could use the book for older children to use as a "find-the-errors-in-the-story lesson." Also note that it is written from a Christian standpoint. It covers the Old Testament using Jesus as fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy (in case you are Jewish).I would not recommend this book to children under 12 as it has pictures of people who were killed (not graphic, but it does have blood on the swords with the people faced down), and the stories in this section of the Bible are graphic telling about David and Bathsheba and the doom of a city.There are multiple spelling errors in the book: Goliath is spelled Goliat and Nathan is spelled Natan. "Natan" tells King David he will have another son named "Salomon" instead of Solomon. Solomon tells a guard to do something with a question mark instead of a period.The story of Job shows Job's sons and daughters as young children whereas the story of Job in the Bible mentions that his children go to each other's houses for feasts. The story says "A storm blew his old son's house down" instead of his oldest son.The book of Isaiah quotes the prophet Uzziah instead of Isaiah.The book would be rated a five if the above changes were made and the comics were enlarged.
