4.0

I was completely enthralled by this book, finishing it in 2 days. While the main character (Christopher) trashes his life at every opportunity, I felt a great sympathy for him and thought that Baring had crafted an interesting character. In fact, most of the characters were interesting and multi-dimensional. I enjoyed the interweaving of the story of Jesus’ seamless coat and how it figured in the ending, which felt a bit abrupt- but perhaps apropos. A great read by a somewhat forgotten author.
