Decalino
Adam & Eve | Sena Jeter Naslund

Pickpick

I picked this up at Goodwill on a whim; little did I suspect how utterly bonkers it would be. The plot sounds like Dan Brown or Michael Crichton--a secret society of the faithful seek to suppress proof of extraterrestrial life AND a newly found version of Genesis. Lucy & the evidence crash land in a fantastical Eden near Baghdad--& there's a naked guy named Adam there. Literary style with a wild, occasionally gruesome, consistently startling plot.

Decalino I rated it a pick because it wasn't boring and it wasn't bad--I don't really know what it was! I can't really imagine recommending it to anyone though. 4d

Love a hotel bookshelf. Oddly enough, this one has 2 copies of Phil Collins's memoir. Is he popular with the French? 🤔
Fly home tomorrow.

BarbaraBB Oh and I can‘t imagine Phil Colllins being more popular in France than elsewhere 😉 12mo

If you know Crumb‘s work, you know how strange it is he‘d be tackling a straightforward project as illustrating one of the Bible‘s essential chapters. Through drawing Crumb shows the perversion of some of the stranger chapters (lots of incest🤮) and the highlights (Creation, Noah‘s Ark) in his beautifully grotesque, crosshatched style. It could‘ve been a blast watching Crumb take aim at Genesis‘s wackier parts, but this book is dutifully accurate.

This tells the classic story about Noah and his ark. It sticks to the original story line but adds detailed, large illustrations to add to the story and set a scene

Classic read. This is a great read aloud for class to show a traditional literature book. The illustrations are large and engaging to coincide with the text

I think this would be a great book to teach children about Noah‘s Ark. It has so many amazing illustrations that fill up most of the page and are so detailed. I really loved reading this book!

The illustrations in this book are phenomenal. I think this book is an awesome way to tell children and teach them, the story of Noah‘s Ark. I think this book puts it in ways children can easily understand.
