Robyn's Review: Eve, In the Beginning is the story of our first parents in
the garden if Eden. It is told mainly from Eve’s point of view. I enjoyed this
book because it gave me some new insights and things to think about regarding
the relationship between Adam and Eve. They became real to me with real
struggles and real joy. I enjoyed that they needed to get to know each other
better after they were evicted from the garden. They had some funny misunderstandings
and some heartbreak. I especially liked that they had to learn to rely on each
other and trust each other to make the right decisions. It is truly a love
story for all time, not just a happily ever after fairytale. Ms. Moore is a
master at drawing you into the story and letting you feel the emotions of each
character. Eve starts out pretty selfish and you grow right along with her.
Adam is also quite selfish and arrogant at first, so it was a pleasure to watch
them mature into multi-dimensional people. I liked this book because I believe
that Adam and Eve are real people, and I enjoyed exploring more about them. I
did struggle a little with separating fact from fiction, but not because Ms.
Moore didn't make that clear. It was more letting go of my expectations and
beliefs and letting someone else show me their perspective. Overall, this is a
very good book and let's you explore the humane side of Adam and Eve. .
Content:
Sex - 2 (There was passionate kissing and implied sexual intimacy,
but it was handled in a very sensitive, sacred way, there was no/very little
sensuality. The characters were obviously naked in the beginning, but it wasn't
really mentioned specifically. They talked about intimacy and the ability to
have children. A woman’s cycle was also discussed quite openly.)
Violence - 1 (A forest fire,
killing of animals in self defense and for food)
Language - 0
Rating - PG-18 (The discussion of sexual intimacy, there is kind of a dark
side with Lucifer and the way he tempts them and is always around.)
