I only review honestly and write what is true to me, so any points and recommendations I give to a book are all from me and I am not getting paid by any writer. But yes I get paid if you buy any book from the links I provide.
Genres: Basically you name it and you'll find that genre in this series.
I read almost all genres if time allows it, and mainly love reading long series, I was introduced to this book by a follower because she thought I am involved in this book series, because the main character's name resembles mine but it is just a coincidence.
This is the start of an amazing series and I loved it, once I started reading, it became impossible to stop. and I cant wait to read the next part (2nd book, Pharaoh's Destruction is already out), this book is for everyone and for all ages. Style is so simple and realistic and everything is simple to understand even it is clearly fiction but the joining of reality and fiction is so realistic, it felt like I was watching a movie. I wish I was able to give more stars because I like this style so much, no waste of time, just pure fun to read without fillers and boring stuff.
I am repeating my self but I WANT MORE.
BRILLIANT. A must read for everyone. Do not be fooled by the simplicity of writing, this is written for all ages in mind like PAULO COELHO's writing, and I can sense a great series and a tv show or a movie series coming in near future. RECOMMENDED. what a genius writing and startup of a series.

“I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery.” STEVE JOBS
He was one of the few great minds of our time but my reason for liking him is not the technology or overpriced status symbol mobiles; it is his belief and the way of thinking that makes him great for me.
He single-handedly transformed many industries and not just the technology; he was able to understand what a consumer wants. This book is very detailed when it tells about the life of Steve Jobs, about his thinking, about how he made his coworkers bring the best of themselves to work for him and his company. How everyone was mourning his death except the co-workers and the business world that knew him closely was not and why. The way he made Apple what Apple is now and how he made his name what it is now. His travel to India and what he did to reach the top. This book is not just for Autobiography lovers, it is for all the fans of Steve Jobs and students of business and future bosses also. As a worker on any job or title, this book is going to impact you and I am sure it will make you work hard and better.
From the back cover:
"Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Isaacson’s portrait touched millions of readers.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering."
Some religious people may not like this book due to the religious views of Steve Jobs, which is why I am giving the low score.

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt Summary
The Review:
Anne Rice's book Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt tells the account of Jesus as a little boy growing up. It is told from the perspective of Jesus as a seven-year-old kid. In this book, we are confronted with the true potential of an unsure, insecure Jesus who is unsure about what he is to accomplish, who he is, and what his purpose in the world is. He is a child - a learning child - and I feel Anne Rice does an excellent job of presenting this viewpoint and I started reading the next book Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana as soon as i was done with this one.
Anne Rice's first book that I read was "Interview With The Vampire," and I only read it because I saw the movie and knew I had to read the book to get all the answers that I didn't find in the movie; and from that first book, I became a fan of hers and read all of her previous books, including The Beauty series.
Because "Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt" moved my heartstrings and is very close to my heart, I am reviewing this book first, rather than "Interview With The Vampire."
The first thing you notice is that you can't put this book down once you start reading it; once you start, you won't be able to stop until you finish it. Anne Rice has the ability to draw you in and keep you captivated for the duration of a story, and she does so in all of her books and stories. I own the paperback, hardcover, and audio editions of this book; I only do this with books that are at the top of my list of all-time favorites.
She has done extensive research on the subject, which is evident as you read the book. When I was reading the book, I felt like my emotions were running wild, especially in the last few chapters. While young Jesus is speaking or thinking, your heart melts and wants to burst out of your eyes, and your hair may stand on end, and you should brace yourself for the chills. Such poetry in words is extremely rare in books. You must also listen to the audio version of this book to understand what I am referring to.
Many people don't realize or comprehend that Jesus spent his childhood in a Jewish-influenced era; this story is told from the perspective of a young Jesus. The way Jesus thinks and speaks is as if he is speaking directly to the reader, and I am confident that many readers will change their minds and feelings about Jesus after reading this book.
There is an overabundance of attention paid to the helpless infant and the man dying in agony on the Cross in popular Christianity. Anne Rice has constructed the tale of Christ as a live person after consulting with several religious and archaeological specialists for historical authenticity. The first volume, Out Of Egypt, portrays Him from roughly the age of 7 through His early, pre-teen years. You are shown the entirety of His family life, as well as the cuisines and customs of the period, the way they cared for their old, and the general practices of devout Jews.
You can feel the tension in Mary and Joseph's relationship, which is worsened by the fact that their kid was physically enlightened by an angel. You can observe the social tensions caused by conflicts, as well as the nature of information transmission, which is occasionally hampered by gossip. For example, the crowds are becoming increasingly concerned about this intense man named John, who is baptizing people in the river, prompting some very human "What should we make of that?"
Step by step, you can sense the firmness and force of things. She hasn't altered anything about Jesus' tale; instead, she has polished it to a high gloss by placing it in context with the realities of life at the time. There are no spectacular effects or large choirs in the background; simply Jesus' trials and character, presented in a straightforward and truthful light. A one-of-a-kind, hundred percent recommended masterpiece.
You can read a few words from the author Anne Rice about her research and coming to faith during her research for this book at the end of the book.
Final Thoughts:
This is a significant departure from the topics she has previously addressed. This is a wonderful narrative of Jesus as a youngster, unaware of his true nature. This work achieves an almost impossible combination of reality and fantasy.
This book is not intended solely for Christians, and it is not intended to be religious propaganda. Anyone can read it and gain a lot from it while maintaining their own faith.
The Audiobook is also fantastic; the voice actor is incredible, and you truly feel as if you're sitting with young Jesus, listening to his thoughts.
I thoroughly appreciated this respectful and ostensibly historically accurate depiction of Jesus Christ's early life. Anne Rice brings to life a narrative that I, for one, had never heard before, thanks to comprehensive study and brilliant imagination. I don't believe you will be dissatisfied.
Synopsis:
“Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most ambitious and courageous book, a novel about the early years of CHRIST THE LORD, based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship.
The book’s power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of Jesus who tells the story.”
