This long-awaited book did not disappoint. It’s got it all. Genocide. Incest. Torture. Tempestuous homosexual love-affairs. People coming back from the dead. Whatever it is you are into, you’ll find it somewhere in here. Not suitable for children though.
I thought that the first part of the Bible was the best. At the beginning of the second part of the book (called “The New Testament”) I felt the writer took a wrong turn, and presented us with a plot line so implausible it makes Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” look like a masterpiece of verisimilitude. And the lead character in this part of the book is such a loathsomely prissy goody two shoes that I find it impossible to believe he will hold much appeal for the general public.
So yeah. The Bible. A mixed bag. If you liked “Harry Potter” then you’ll love this. Definitely worth a look.
