Weigh Up Based On Books Michal (The Wives of King David #1)

This is just one of the most awful books I've ever tried to read. (I can't say "I've ever read" because there was no way I was going to spend my time reading the whole thing.)It reads like it was written by a 12-year-old (or at the very least *for* a 12-year-old) -- overly melodramatic, overly simplistic, no plot line whatsoever, no character development whatsoever. It just jumps from scene to scene with no narrative structure, and the writing itself is just ... really, really terrible. I mean,

I was pulled into this story and couldn't put it down. I had so much emotion into the story, anger, sadness, heartwarming happiness, uneasiness, and I would often think of what was going to happen next. Now I need to go read the story in 1 Samuel again!

Sadly Michal was a miss for me. I just felt no connection to David or Michal. I didn't believe their great love for one another.

As mentioned in her notes at the end of the book, the author tried to stay close to what's written in the Bible as much as possible. I found myself with the Bible on hand for easy reference while I was reading. It's really as close as it can get. The stories in

Michal was the daughter of King Saul and sister to crowned heir, Jonathan. Her life had flipped as soon as her father turned his face away from the Lord. This would add tension and panic whenever a demonic hysteria would engulf King Saul. Yet, the chaotic spirit of Saul seemed to be soothed when a shepherd showed up. David was quite the handsome young man and Michal knew the moment she saw him that she would make sure he was hers. However, the musician rose in ranks after he killed Goliath and
