Not for me

I tried this thinking it would be a simpler and easier to read format. I actually find it to be much more convoluted than just reading the actual bible. A group of people have been displaced from their homeland, are upset, and are questioning God. Someone is playing the harp. An old man is retelling stories of the bible to the group. I feel like I've been reading for forever and he's still explaining Adam and Eve. I heard great things about this book. It was described to me as reading one smooth story and great for beginners who may feel overwhelmed. For me, the premise of reading about someone retelling bible stories makes everything unnecessarily long and drawn out. It's like a tangled up 10 ft length of yarn instead of a 3 ft length of yarn pulled taut from point A to point B.
