A special novel about the Fertile Crescent
If you like to read about the developing history of an area in novel form especially that of the the Fertile Crescent, then this is a great read. Yes, it is long, but I read cover to cover in a week after returning from a trip to Israel and visiting Meggido. I could not put it down, unlike the year between High School and College when I couldn't pick it up. I guess I was on text book overload
