Babylons falling is a novel about the life of Daniel after Jerusalem was invaded and the people taken captive. The story begins on the road from Jerusalem to Babylon. It tells of the struggles and worries of the people on their journey, and moe directly tells the story of Daniel, Mishael, Hananiah and Azariah. The story continues as they are brought before the king as seers and asked to explain his dream. Daniel and his three friends become well known in the eyes of the king for being able to give meaning to his dream. The story of the fiery furnace and Daniel in the lions den are also told in this story.
I would give the book a the out of five stars if I were rating it. The writing was well done, but the book was not as engaging as I would have hoped. Seem places seemed slow and difficult to read, and some of the more exciting parts of the story lacked detail to keep the reader engaged. I thought the love story part of the book was very well written. The author speaks of Daniels wife and the love he has for her, but does not make it inappropriate or inaccurate. I thought he wrote the affections and love of marriage very well.
