Overview
2,300 years ago, an unnamed Hebrew sage known only as Koheleth rocked the ancient Jewish world with a critique of society that shattered conventional notions of God, piety, politics, and power. His teachings, known as the Book of Ecclesiastes, empowered people not unlike ourselves. In this contemporary translation, Rami Shapiro presents the Book of Ecclesiastes as a rational and inspirational guide to living well in the midst of uncertainty.

While I appreciate the honest comments with which the book starts and the insights they are based on. That part I can rate much higher even if I do not agree with much of it. What I cannot accept is for a title that is clearly described as "translation" to be in fact straight re-writing of the text. If it was clearly stated up front, that would be good and one would know what one is buying. On the other hand, in the text it self the fact that "the Hebrew says this but I have decided to translate it like this" is clearly stated (even though it is always in notes). If one read the text of Ecclesiastes without the introduction and without the notes, one would come out with completely different text. This peaks at the end where the author simply decides that the end should not be what it is and that it is some later addition (which is quite likely) and rewrites it to say what according to him the preacher would say if he was writing the conclusion. Confusing and robbing the reader of his/her ability to draw his own conclusions.
