The Book of Samson Audiobook

" Even though you might know how it all ends, this is a worthwhile read. I never read anything by David Maine, but I like what he did here. He didn't present his character -- his character presented himself. I still can't really decided if I just read the story of a champion or a sociopath. "

" My disbelief was so suspended and the violence was so cold that I simply had to put this down. I couldn't take it. "

" This is a retelling of the Bible story of Sampson, with Sampson as the narator of his own story. It was a good book, dry and full of black humor. If you know the story of Sampson, want to look at it in a whole new way, while enjoying a good read, this is a book you may want to read. "

" What can I say, I'm biased. "

" Another clever twist to a traditional Bible story. In this story, Maine doesn't use punctuation to "punctuate" the primitive nature of his main character. So many things about Samson and the world in which he lived - Maine's version anyway - reminded me of our world today. "

" Unique take on the Bible story. Gripping narrative voice. I'd definitely read more Maine... "

" i remember how easily Samson could carry on with Deliliah back in the day that you woulsd have thought it would be impossib;e to get away with. i also remember the depiction of him being blind felt real, you do get inside his head. "

" A little better than 3 stars but not quite 4. "

" Not as humourous as The Perservationist but Maine does a good job at making the Biblical characters that we know become more human. "

" Poorly written. Not even proof read. Filled with tons of grammatical errors. The plotline isn't well thought of and the arrangement of events seemed like fillers. "

" I loved this book from the very minute I picked it up. And there are very few books that I have loved from the get go. The author is irreverent and always catches me off guard. "

" I liked it. Lots of violence. A fun read. But I have to admit that some of the stilted language made me feel a little bit like a science-fiction nerd. "

" Good. A little explicit using very little details. "

" I've seen better written pieces of fanfiction written by 13 year old squeeing fangirls on the Twilight section of fanfiction.net, gushing about how murderers aren't evil when they’re, like, sooooo hawt. Blech. "
