Perhaps I have misunderstood, but I was always lead to believe that Eve first tempted Adam- not the other way around. It's beautifully told and although the young woman feels unworthy to be a witness, she loves the experience. This delightful set features the complete collection of 36 timeless Little Miss stories, including the much loved classic titles, Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Inventor. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship, yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional misconceptions about who we are and how we're made.

I am not sure if I believe we do actually have our own guardian angel but the idea is very appealing. Like the great works of his predecessors, Asimov, Clarke, and other giants of science fiction, the vision Stephenson has built in SevenEves will be read, I expect, as long as there are still people left alive, whether on Earth or not. The book felt preachy in a relational sort of way, which maybe isn't even a thing, but I grew so tired of hearing the phrase "face-to-face" and "turning" that it nearly made me want to turn my back on the whole message -- but since I wasn't even exactly sure what the message was, it was difficult to even do that. Neoanders: Designed to counter the strengths of Teklans, Neoanders possess both the physical prowess and intellectual cunning of several of the other human races.

In a true to form battle of good vs evil, Eve is a book that demonstrates that there is so much more going on outside off ourselves.Deciding that future humans will look down upon her descendants for the cannibalism that she participated in while the ark cloud was cut off from the ISS, she gives each of her children markedly different qualities to best counter the attributes that are selected by the other Eves. Even the allegorys have allegorys to the point that there seems to be little or no reality that I can relate to.
