It’s actually really interesting from a literature perspective. Every other paragraph, you realize some word, phrase, idiom you know originated from that exact paragraph.
Not a Christian but there are parts of the King James that I really like. If you grew up in the west it can connect at a really deep level since so much of our culture is built on it. There are really boring and downright bad parts too. It’s a mess of a book, I like it
You cannot really evaluate/rank the Bible with the same criteria you apply to works created by a single author with clear intent in a limited timespan.
Having said that, ecclesiastes and Song of Songs alone make it top-ten worthy.

I know that reviews are subjective, but I still want to know if the Bible being ranked 10th is too high or too low.

Depending on how they're doing their scoring, the bible might get artificially boosted because everyone knows it

Way to high. People don't read it or don't understand it apparently.
