Higgins tends to use the stories of the not-so-perfect women of the Bible as a soapbox to preach rather than give a historical (for as much as the Bible is historical) accounting of the women who were victimized and thrown aside for being other than the 'perfect' Christian women. She goes very little into the male-written Bible that terrorizes any woman who shows a bit of backbone or is self-assured in her own right. Definately NOT a keeper.

Question for you, if you were a farmer and found your herd of cows dissolving in pools of green slime, would YOU stick your finger in it? Didn't think so. But if the characters in this book didn't behave in such an illogical manner the story could not have been told. Grade b-schlock as titular slime eats its way towards town, inching inexorably to the standard showdown with the Intrepid Hero That Goes Unheeded Until It's Almost Too Late, His Love Interest, and The Clueless Law Officers of The County. Potential readers should skip this and just watch either The Blob or The H-Man, both are far more entertaining and take less time to endure. You have been warned.
