dsullivan 's review for:

The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene
5.0

In a southern province of Mexico, religion and alcohol have been outlawed. The last priest is a drunk and he's on the run with nothing but a guilty conscience and a sense of duty to God.

This book was very thought-provoking. The characters are complex and realistic. The main character struggles with cognitive dissonance throughout the story. The book deals with many aspects of the human condition in an insightful and meaningful way.
