Carrie Laben and 6 other people liked Danger's review of A Children's Bible: "This was great, so much deeper and so much darker than the simple story lets on. I honestly think Millet is a genius. I discovered her writing earlier this year, and having read two books of her now, she is quickly becoming one of my favorites."
