Yep I read it over the course of adolesence and again in college. I didn't think that it sucked, but it is a different book each time you read it. Try reading it as a believer, then try reading it dry- devoid of reading inbetween the lines and creating a line where only two dots exist. Personally, I'm an OT gal, but the Letters to the Romans are very telling, love the Book of Ruth.
But to the point, in my opinion, it does not suck at all. Not a fan pf the begattage, but even that serves a purpose.
If you are reading it for the sake of reading it with no set notions- good. we all need to do that at some point. CUltural literacy, not prostelethyzing. Re-resding it with SET notions is fun.
