The Old Testament is a romanticised novel with a dark side - shrouded in mystery and with a malevolent, aggressive and homophobic main character, nicknamed as 'God' by the authors - bringing in an excellent social commentary about the dangers of GULLIBILITY and SUSCEPTIBILITY of the human mind to conformist idealogies. However the mention of Gods so called 'Plan' seems a bit too far-fetched and the narrative structure is especially poor - it is never explained why the characters simply GIVE UP ALL LOGICAL THOUGHT and begin to worship this 'Almighty God' as the one true path. I was rather hoping that in the sequel the authors would explain this, but 'The New Testament' is simply a dumbed down version and lacks any of the punch that this book contains.

Despite this, 'The Old Testament' is an average (so average, it seems, the authors didn't even please to put their names on it) yet enjoyable work of fiction detailing ancient biblical times with plenty of DEATH, RACISM and KILLING to keep the horror fans happy.
