cmocker 's review for:
The Power and the Glory
by Graham Greene
I read this book with Chris since it was one of his summer reading books for school. I had a really difficult time with it and I'm surprised they assigned the book to a bunch of 16-year-old boys to decipher. The setting is Mexico in the 1930s, during the Red Shirts era, when the Catholic Church was outlawed and priests were hunted down. By the end, I did realize what the author was trying to get across, but throughout the book, I was just majorly confused, especially since most of the characters have no names. The journey that the "runaway" priest goes through ends up being quite interesting, but again, way too difficult to understand while I was reading it.
