This is basically the telling of Jesus’ life through the eyes of his wife. She explains her absence from the biblical stories and he’s written in a way that he’s just a normal man, not a deity.

morganwiard's review against another edition

SO BORING. I tried SO HARD to get into it cause it had so many good reviews. Plus it was kind of retelling the Jesus story in a way that christians would think is blasphemous, but it was absolutely terrible. So boring and overall uninteresting. I need a quicker plot.
