He is one of my favorite authors. I can not put his books down and this one had some of the best character development of any of the books I've read.

A harrowing if at times dispassionate account of the concentration camps survivor clearly portrayed the ultimate emotional death which is more haunting then any physical suffering described.

This book blew my mind in all sorts of ways. It's facinating and I'm convinced that if I could apply all the things I learned from this book I could change the world, but so far I haven't figured out quite how.

"Adam & Eve" by Sena Jeter Naslund is a fictional book which tries to tackle the evolution / creationism debate through its characters and via the storyline. The book encompasses a love story, thriller and mystery in short space. Lucy Bergmann watched her husband die in, what she thought, was a freak accident. He has entrusted Lucy with his life's work on, appropriately enough, a memory drive (thumb drive, flash drive)proof of extraterrestrial life which she wears around her neck. The Bergmann's friend, Pierre Saad discovers a new version of the biblical book "Genesis". Together with the proof of extraterrestrial life these discoveries threaten Judaism, Christianity and Islam which makes Lucy and Pierre targets. When Lucy's plane crushes, she finds herself in the Garden of Eden with an American solider named Adam who believes she is his Eve. "Adam & Eve" by Sena Jeter Naslund is a story about beginnings, reinventing oneself and is full of metaphors about the genesis and Genesis. Clearly we've taken things literally and out of context when it comes to religion and just as well it is easy to do so with this book. The writing also reminded me of the way the bible is written, it is lyrical with beautiful prose and well written. The Hebrew bible is not full of "thy" and "thou" but is written in simple language, poetic and to a measured beat. I have no idea why the translators chose to translate in a high brow manner and even change some of the meanings -- but that's a different discussion. I did enjoy the book but I think it would be better enjoyed with multiple readings, getting accustomed to the writing style took me a while, I was almost a quarter way through the book before I got used to it and about half way through before I realized that the book is trying to tell an allegorical story. This is when I gave the plot holes, some huge, a pass. Actually, the story becomes less interesting when the author leaves the denotative approach and becomes literal. However, to her credit it must be said that the theme of "Genesis", in terms of adapting, surviving, and reinventing, is always present. The theme of "Genesis", not is in origin, but as an event that begins something, is a premise that I can identify with and spoke to me throughout the book. I have lived in several countries and in many cultures: rural, city, suburban and even in a collective for a large part of my life. Each time it was the end of one thing and the beginning of other. Each one was difficult but frankly I feel sorry for those who born and die within a 5 mile radius and never experience anything different. This is especially sad in the United States where young people rarely travel and older ones refuse to experience new cultures even if it means just crossing the city/state line.

I could not put this book down when I read it. It was followed by the Marching Season which also was good. A great spy saga. I've heard the author "Daniel Silva" has written a bunch more of great books, just haven't had the time to read them.

This tale is so disarming. Written from the POV of an autistic boy trying to solve a murder mystery, I think this book has universal appeal.

I love Stepahnie Plum! Reading a Stephanie Plum book is like taking a fun little break and this one was no exception.
