Reviews

[Peter · Rating 1 out of 5]

Sting's take on the great biblical deluge. There is no damnation, no sin, no death, and no real point. Noah invites a couple of hippies on board, and as I recall, they sing the deplorable title 'song', Rock Steady. Oh, and the illustrations suck.

Hopefully this crap isn't the version of a great tale that will be found in a cave by a shepherd tossing rocks 2000 years from now.

This is one story of Noah's Ark you will have no problem reading 20 times a day.
