I just picked this up at the library last night. Anyone want to read it with me?

Did everyone actually like this book? I checked it out of the library because there seemed to be so much interest here about it. I didn't like it at all. It started out good, the premise of the story was interesting, and I was able to ignore all the references to false gods and pagan rituals for a while even though this was supposed to be a story about Jacob's family. But I had a serious problem with all the liberties the author took in twisting the story of Jacob and his family into something almost unrecognizable. I was really turned off with the appearance of Rebecca and the way she was described. And then with the way the Dinah & Shechem story was told, that's when I just quit reading. I understand this was a fictional account, however the author showed nothing but disdain for God and a complete disrespect for a story that was very important in Biblical history. I'm sorry if I'm giving too much away, but I was really disturbed by this book and I probably won't ever read anything by this author again.
