The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail

actually made it harder to follow the already dense and somewhat scholarly style of writing. Not a good thing, especially for something that (even though the author claims to have written “in the vernacular”) was fairly dry at times and so reference-heavy it made me realize some books probably are better suited for reading than listening. I found the constant Bible verse referencing particularly distracting, though again, probably necessary for serious students and I was eventually able to tune it out well enough… less so the affected mannerisms of the narrator. That said, the ideas presented were so compelling (makes Da Vinci Code look like a comic book by comparison), and so persuasively argued and meticulously researched that in the end I’m glad I stuck it out. In fact, grateful as I am for the Audible version as a primer, now I really want the print book in order to go back and digest some of the details that frankly flew by too fast from listening alone. All in all, recommend even with all the irritations. Great food for thought and more timely than ever for the open-minded.

awful voice person, it was very distracting at times. she did weird voices and mispronounced English and French in very creative ways.

it is okay. I feel like someone should tell this lady she is feminine. not very cohesive. wait till the book is free if you must read it.

The story might be great but the performance of the reader is HORRIBLE! She sounds like she is in an echo chamber!

I love the premise and bringing in all of the signs and symbols, art and stories from throughout the centuries and cultures was riveting.
