What a lovely, sacrilegious, healing, confusing retelling of Genesis. As a person raised on Bible studies, this was particularly compelling, new, and yet familiar all at the same time. I've never related to God more than when she was represented by minimalist line drawing and just as emotional as any human. Thank you LIana Finck for sharing your craft. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for an early read.

I honestly did not know what to think of this book, because I have a bit of a hang up when it comes to the bible. This mostly comes from childhood which has to do with a religious family. Once I got over my hang ups though it was very interesting to see the book of Genesis told by someone else.

Finck's art did take me a little while to get use to, but once I did I actually enjoyed it very much. The art complimented Finck's story very well. I love the alternative God that Finck explores, and the first two sections of the book was very interesting, but the third and last section sort of lost it's stride and I did not enjoy it as much.

Overall, a very interesting retelling about the Book of Genesis

Loved this book. I'm not religious but I thoroughly enjoyed the story as Ms. FInck drew it. Graphic novels are a highly under rated medium, and I cannot recommend this one enough.

ARC from the publisher via NetGalley, but the opinions are my own.

This was a pretty straightforward retelling of Genesis. God is depicted as a woman, which isn't particularly bold, as there is Biblical precedent for that. The art style isn't what I am normally drawn to. Overall, this was fine. I probably would have skipped this one if the publisher hadn't reached out.

This was an entertaining alternate retelling of the book of Genesis. The book is divided into three sections, and I think the first two sections were the strongest. Finck is at her best when she's exploring alternate ideas of God as opposed to the old-man-with-a-beard that he tends to be pictured. I love the idea of God being a woman (and there's definitely biblical text to support this, but I digress). There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek comments and jokes. When the book gets into Abraham's descendants, it gets less interesting, and I think it would have been stronger if it were just the first two parts. The art isn't to my taste either because it's pretty simplistic (but this also encourages me to keep going with my own drawing, because simple doesn't mean unsuccessful!). Overall, this was a fast and entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley for offering me a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
