Summary: Moses at his best..
Review: This great novel is a fictional account of the story surrounding Moses, and it can be enjoyed by anyone. I am atheist and I loved the moral dilemmas that the characters faced. Furthermore, it was enlightening to learn the Mormon interpretation of these events.

In this book, as well as the women of genesis series, I was touched in two different ways. First, the story and the characters are involving and touching. The story is well told, and the writing is clear and concise. But on another level there is a sense of greatness. How the characters communicate and interact with one another, and the actions they undertake is spiritual and gives a sense that we can all be better people.

I would consider this book to be equal to if not better than Ender's Game. It's certainly different. Orson Scott Card deserves credit for taking risks in his writing. Not many writers would have dared to release something of this nature, and I think he presented the material with integrity.
