Beautifully written. Her use of ancient names was a bit annoying and precious - otherwise a great read.

I loved this novel. I’m having a difficult time finding something to measure up. I’m asking”Now what”? Thank you and please write another

Just as I thoroughly enjoyed,"The People of the Book", so did I this enthralling story of King David!

This is one of the most in depth book about Biblical characters I have ever read. Thank you so much for doing so much research to write it!

Wonderfull story. A great read.

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Well written, well played, worth every minute!

Grow up reviewer! This is the 21st century! Give up your childhood fairytales...Santa, the Easter bunny, etc! Christs message was one of unconditional love and acceptance for all. He was a good MAN!

I'm a big Geraldine Brooks fan and was so excited when this book came out! However, I've stopped reading it in the middle of chapter six. I consider myself a practicing Christian and love the Bible and the prophets. I really had a hard time with the way David is portrayed and especially with his sexual encounter with Jonathan. So I stopped reading. So sad I can't finish the book but it became drudgery to read. I'll just wait patiently for the next Brooks to come out and hope for the better!

Don't know how to explain it. Such a familiar story made so real. This must have been the way it was. It was too real to not have been.
