An interesting book based on the story of Noah & the ark.
The tone of the book is very frank, lots of talk about the characters "rutting" each other (you can guess what that means).
The story is told from the perspective of various characters at different times throughout the book and this is probably the most interesting part of it, getting to know the personalities - the religious part didn't do much for me.
It's hard to rate this book - read it and see what you think...I give it high marks for the characterization and for originality (taking a biblical story and rounding it out so much).

David Maine is a wonderfully creative writer, who takes well known (biblical) stories and gives them his own voice, and tells them in a unique way.

I was pulled into the writing right away, and this book left me wanting more. The only bad thing I can say, is that I got to the end and thought 'Well now I've read both of his books and have to wait until a new one comes out'.

'The Preservationist' is a great book and wonderful read.
