Transgression: A Time-Travel Suspense Novel | R S Ingermanson

so-so

This is going to be a long one. Sorry.
This is between a pick and a so-so for me. Ultimately, this is a really good story that is ruined by a cliche sermon tossed in randomly that disrupts the flow. It genuinely feels like that whole ridiculousness was added in later for some ridiculous reason.
The Ari and Rivka at the beginning of the book are a wonderful young couple who have their differences, but they‘re relatively healthy. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The Ari and Rivka later in the book are a hot mess of unhealthy relationship hell. She wants him to be open minded so she can change him. He wants her to be open minded so they can both try to see each other‘s perspectives. He demands she listen to him and tries to forbid her from exercising her autonomy. What happened to the great Ari and Rivka from the beginning of the story? I want them back. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics The argument that she‘s not Christian was lost as soon as it was made known that she had a “policy” of not dating any guy that didn‘t believe the exact way she did. She‘s an uber conservative Christian from the Bible Belt with that BS. I very nearly stopped reading at that point, but the story outside of that forced me on. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics “Baruch wasn‘t intentionally being a male chauvinist oink-oink.”
I am still unconvinced that this line was written by Ingermanson. The rest of the book is well written from a 20-30-something‘s voice. This line is ridiculous and written from a teenager‘s voice. Just call him a male chauvinist pig and move on. This line is ridiculous and pulls the reader completely out of the story to try and figure out what just happened. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics The editor who suggested this line should be fired immediately, and all the other books that editor worked on should be re-examined. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics I also want to know what “black eyes” are, as that is not a natural eye color for humans. Their eyes are likely dark brown so it‘s hard to see the difference between the pupil and iris unless intimately close, but come on. Not every person in Israel has this color eyes. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics Ultimately, this book needs to be marketed as Christian fiction as opposed to general fiction or literary fiction. It could be either of those if not for the forced, ridiculous religiosity that suddenly they are both practicing for the first time in their adult lives. Calling it anything other than Christian fiction is tantamount to false advertising. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics It makes no sense, ruins the flow of the story, and makes parts of this book absolutely painful. You can explore religion without making it preachy. I genuinely wish he had. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics I read this book to see what came of the snowflake method. Clearly it works, but I have no desire to read the rest of this series. If you had asked me in the first quarter to third of the book, I was ready to read the whole series as quickly as possible. Not anymore. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6y

GingerAntics Ingermanson is a wonderful writer. I would gladly read more by him if he could manage to write without being preachy and obviously biased toward the Christian world view. #ingermanson #transgression #cityofgodseries 6y

GingerAntics Just looked it up. This used to be the rule. It changed in 2008, but this used to be the rule. 6y

It‘s like someone went in and added this absolute rubbish line. I‘m almost not convinced Ingermanson wrote this sentence - at least not the last word. The rest of the book is so well written. This one sentences is just starkly different.

Arrogant SOB has lost his damn mind!!! Damian is the biggest idiot. Can I beat him up?! If he keeps Rivka and Ari apart, he better hope the ancient Romans crucify him, because I‘m going to make them look like they were playing. Butt face!!!

GingerAntics He‘s so stupid he learned ancient Hebrew when he should have learned Aramaic. Idiot. 6y

Ooooooh, the title has many connotations within the story; and there are clearly many questions we don‘t even know to ask, but we definitely need the answers.

Just a few chapters in, but this is going very well. I‘m even rather enjoying the little bits of Hebrew mixed in. I think it‘s because I‘ve always had a fascination with the language. It was the first language I knew of that went right to left, and as a lefty that seemed very logical to me as a child.
