Summary

The story of Moses, who grew from orphan to adopted prince to leader of the oppressed people, is worthy of many retellings. In Moses, Fast breathes new life into the legendary story of the infant found among the reeds of the Nile. From Moses’s adoption into the home of Pharaoh Ramses II, to his upbringing in Egypt's royal court, to his controversial support of monotheism and eventual leadership of a nation, Moses is a stunning look at the life of one of world history's most celebrated men.

Fascinating tale

I really enjoyed this story, which tells up to the time that the young Moses flees from Egypt after killing a man. In other words, it covers the early part of Moses' life of which the Bible says little.
interesting look into other cultures - ancient Egypt, slave people, Cushites.
The narrator tells it well, though the American (?) pronunciation can get a little grating eg. plate insteadof plait.

Very good

Having recently listened to an audio bible a few times over, it was interesting to escape into the void that is the gap in the biblical account of Moses' upbringing. I found this to be a very good story with excitement and intrigue throughout. The narration was crisp and well measured.

Good with performance and dialogue flaws

Voice changes help the flow of a story. But why Israelite women have Irish brogues eludes me.

Moses dialogue, though an adult, 6 feet tall, is like a sniveling 8 year old eludes me.

The story itself is inventive and enjoyable. I am glad I read it.

Fascinating concept

Not a religious book, but a psychological novel about the biblical figure with modern understanding of personality formation
