My Enlightenment: The Autobiography of Eve

Celeste, The fact that this is well written is not what is so incredible. The fact that your premise as old as time, is brand new and contemporary, relatable to so many, even those who may not know or believe in the Adam and Eve premise, will be totally absorbed in this amazing and important story.

The reason is because what everyone does know, is that we need to make a change and take a good look at what we've done collectively and what we can do as a unit to make it better.

I love the voice of your Mc's and your wisdom, reminding us of the reality, (for some) that we are all relatives of Adam and Eve(for those who believe) so making her be reborn into these different daughters to different mothers and reliving decades and centuries, to observe not only her transformation, but the worlds transformation is just SHEER GENIUS.

The meaning behind the Budha was so poetic and Serene and hopeful.

Thought provoking, inspiring, and a subtle, yet necessary wake up call, though fiction, this resonates with the times of today. I can't wait to read on....You should be proud. Thank you for this and for sharing your gift. Patricia aka Columbiaa Layers of the Heart

This is brilliant and the premise so creative. Everything about this--the story, the writing, the characters and the dialogue is the best. I had this on my WL for several days and if I had known how good it was I would have read it sooner. One of the best books I've read on Authonomy. Shelved, with pleasure

My Enlightenment: The Autobiography of Eve is a work of extraordinary imagination and has an enthralling plot. An interesting twist on a well-known story from the Bible. Backed with enthusiasm.

Hi Celeste, A delicious imagining of the garden scene, especially Eve's first feel of life. I also liked the description of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam's dialogue was nice too. Given that your portrayal works, the synopsis sounds pretty fascinating. Shelved - Katherine (The Swan Bonnet)

Dear Celeste

I do wish to be part of your climb to the top on this site. CONGRATS and I will comment more as I read more

Adam and Eve and questions, questions, questions. "Sit, Adam, I have a lot to tell you." But there are answers, answers, and answers provided by Celeste Zaure Rose at the conclusion.

MY ENLIGHTENMENT:THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF EVE by Celeste Azure Rose
hullo Celeste. I was not sure what to expect but this has surprised. I guess not many of us have ever thought of 'Eve' anywhere but in the Garden of Eden. That story seemed to stop there. It is neat the way you have drawn a story out of Eden by creating an imortal 'Eve'. Very good.Already shelved and backed.
Please take a look at my book if you have not and thanks for that.

Perhaps we shall meet at 1 AM some morning, or is that night, typing a way. Other than that, I like your story idea. The thought of Eve as an eternal being, with all that experience behind her. What a thought. More than enough material for one novel I should add.

Hi Celeste Rose,

Beautiful written prose with a unique concept brilliantly layered to mirror your description into live act. The premise is so creative, original idea. This is compellingly don't stop till you get enough, gripping with inward aura to discover the next chapter. Again, your title shoots a deep spear it the heart calling for adherence. I truly enjoyed your work. Goodluck with it.

Celeste: do apologize for this spam comment but I did BACK your book. Though my book is currently on the Ed's Desk, I can still use your comments on my book before the end of this month. Thanks - cheers!

MY ENLIGHTENMENT: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF EVE
Hi Celeste, a very different sort of book with an unusual twist on the old Adam and Eve story. I imagine that Evan is a modern-day God, and I really like the way he is portrayed as CEO of a big organisation and a philanthropist to boot. Your writing is good and the characters real. Just a few bits of punctuation to sort out. But backed and with enthusiasm. It deserves to do well. If you have a little time to spare, would appreciate it very much if you could have a read of mine.
Best wishes,

Dear Celeste,
So creative! I really enjoy the retelling of stories from a woman's point of view. I wonder why Eve has to be sorry for everything at the beginning of the book. She is the mother of everyone - she might feel proud of that accomplishment! Wonderful writing (even if I do think Eve needs to lighten up! hahaha)

Brilliant premise, brilliantly executed. A rich and absorbing story told with style. Well drawn characters. Interesting dialogue. Evocative narrative. Assured writing. A refreshing read. Backed.

This is a very intriguing first chapter. I love it. It is well written and your premise is fantastic! I could definutely get into this book, as you might have guessed from what my book's about. The dialogue works well between the two main characters and the ending to the chapter is just right. Eve is my favorite character thus far and I really liked how her name was brought in in the chapter's close. When you get this published, whether by a publisher or self published, please let me know. I would love to own a copy. Have a great day!

- Scott Toney, The Ark of Humanity

I love your cover. It reminds me of an old album cover of the 60s band, "It's a Beautiful Day." I guess that's a similar feeling if you are with the perfect man. This is very intriguing. An Adam and Eve story with Eve eventually divorcing Adam and working for a corporation that is attempting to restore peace on Earth. Then in steps the devil in human form, whom Eve remembers from the days in the garden. Wow, the story of Eve, "the mother of humanity." This is one intriguing fantasy. "Sit Adam, I have a lot to tell you . . . Lucas is back . . . It turns out the company that I have been working for was founded by him." Thanks for uploading the complete text. I'll be back to read more once I find a little time. Backed for now.

Wow, now this is an original idea. Love the cheek. With an Adam, the Creator, orangutans, lioness to be called upon in need. The story line keeps one reading. BWP Lonnie The Tails of Willie Gusty

Hi Celeste, great fictional conceit: bringing Eve to life. strong prose.
no quibbles; i was carried happily along by both the storyline and the writing.

ps - oh yeah, sleep is top trump.

This is a really nice read. it reads well, moves along quite quite quickly. Couple of huge paragraphs which might benefit from being broken up slightly but other than that a fine piece of work

Quick note to all those reading past chapter 1: I just found out from tech support how to fix the funky font changes that happened when I downloaded. Will be fixing on Sunday. Please just bear with me.

Celelste,

You'll be pleased to know I'm reading this in my bed.

That's a great pitch and a great concept. Looking forward to reading on.

Strong prologue. First chapter reads well too. Noticed, I think, a missing word:

Needing a moment [to] regain an air of asexual professionalism . . .

Otherwise, I found no nits to pick in chapter one. Have you read Heller's 'God Knows'? You might enjoy it, another humorous telling of a story from the viewpoint of a Biblical character.

Backed.

I am BLOWN away by you all! Thank you so much for investing your time, attention, and expertise in my novel. I had no idea what a journey I was in for when I signed up for this a few days ago. I LOVE you all. I thank you again, and again, and again!

I will return the favor to each one of you. It may take me a bit to get to you, but I will.

Okay! Okay! I give up! Uncle!

I'll relinquish my "most poetic, beautiful, unique, spiritually enhancing, awe inspiring story that you have ever read. " line! Thank you to all who pointed out my faux pas!

But just so everyone knows (while, of course I am my own cheer-squad) this is a review that I was given by a WEBook reviewer. It meant so much to me that I just ran with it. I am sure as artists you all understand. It was either that or: Just 3 easy payments of $5.99.

Stand by for alternate tag line...

Dear Celeste, whilst I may agree with your initial statement regarding your work, this kind of sales-pitch is frowned upon, as readers want to discover how great it is for themselves, not be told what they will think by the author.
I'm enjoying your work, so far. Well done. I hope this comment is useful.

LITTLE KRISNA AND THE BIHAR BOYS

This new book caught my eye. Not quiet sure it is as great as your intro, but definately it drew me in. The story line however is a wonderful collection of ideas. All I would suggest, from the two chapters I read, is to 'keep the story line tight and focussed', to pull the reader along. Backed with honisty.
Appreciate any comments / backing or trashing of my childrens book ; Paperbats [Jerry - paperbat]

Celeste:
An original concept, dramatically and touchingly presented. My only comment would be to use the 25 word short pitch to say something about the book itself, rather than aiming to tell the reader what their impression of it will be.
Best of luck with your book. Backed.
Peace,

PULLING THE GOALIE

You have written a very unique and compelling storyline dealing with love and metaphysical spirituality. I like your use of the first person narrative voice as you build the character of Eve and your Prologue sets the tone for your book perfectly. The dialogue is well written and the pace of your story flows nicely. This and your descriptive writing makes your work a pleasure to read. Backed.

Andrew Burans
The Reluctant Warrior: The Beginning

Very, very well written and a totally new perspective on the old 'Who's to blame?' saga. I'm going to back this because of it's originality and craftsmanship. Just 2 points, Craig is right, some of those paragraphs would benefit from splitting and the poem at the end doesn't add anything to the quality of the book.

Robert Davidson
THE TUZLA RUN

The prologue was a nice touch, setting the scene for what is to come. Great dialogue and descriptive passages throughout. Love the hook at the end of Chapter one. This is an engaging read.

You have a few huge paragraphs in there that you might want to break down a bit, so readers don't skim them.

You just have one typo near the end of the first chapter. "relived" I thought should be "relieved".

Backed with pleasure!

Dear Celeste, I love that you have adapted Adam & Eve & Lucifer :) - great write! :) Your poems & prose are unique. :) I am glad that I wasn't Eve. :) Your pitch drew me in to read your book & your paragaphing was perfect for a delightful read. :) I have backed your book :) - hope you'll take a moment to back my 2 memoir books. :) Thanks. :) Love, Susie :)

MY ENLIGHTENMENT
This is a story based on an interesting premise: the reincarnation of Eve. I like the way no matter how many lives she has passed through, she still has to deal with Adam and the Devil. You’ve made Eve a charming main character; she seems up to the task of facing off with Luca again. Evan makes a good “perfect man”. And makes this a fun read. FYI: Your pitch might read a bit more modestly if you let your readers tell you this is the most poetic, unique, beautiful, etc. book they’ve ever read rather than you telling them that is what the book is. Either way, I’m happy to add this to my shelf. If you have a moment, would you look at mine (Grain of Salt)? I’m in 3rd place but only holding on by my teeth. Burgio

Burgio ~ My Friend,

I stopped being modest the day that I realized that I was the most awesomest, coolest, most amazing person on the planet!

Just kidding!

Actually – That rather lavish description of my book was a quote from a reader on WeBook. It meant so much to me that I just ran with it! (Plus it’s pretty catchy – huh? Made you think twice, and as they say all press is good press!)

Love.

HELLOE CELESTE - WELCOME ON HERE.
You have a good pitch and a nice gentle flowing intro. Indeed all of your script seems to have a good feel to it. Gentle and deep. Nice descriptions, emotive and vivid. Quite lyrical in parts. Strong narrative. I am backing this as I think this is different and could do well.
Good luck. Please if you get a chance can you take a look at my novel and make any comments you feel fit?\
