The book has several strong points. The storytelling is excellent as is the biographical information. It also opened my eyes to a lot of Mesopotamian history; history I had only come across in very broad terms. I liked the parts where accounts from Mesopotamia were compared to biblical accounts. On the other hand, I thought that the book had some weaknesses; early on there were too many places and names that I had trouble keeping clear in my mind. I also would have been happier with fewer and less graphic accounts of cruelty. Fortunately, this was not a lot and I skipped over it. A little less about the actual cuneiform symbols would also have been appreciated. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book (I miss the characters too) and it was well worth reading. Thank you to Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster for the advance review copy.
