raquel_hoad 's review for:
The Sparrow
by Mary Doria Russell
Halfway through this book I was sure it would be a 4/5 star read for me. At the end though, the other priest's (and the world's?) belief that Sandoz had prostituted himself to a bunch of aliens seemed... Pretty silly. I was never able to take that bit of the conflict seriously, and so the last 100 pages and the "revelation" that it had been rape really dampened my enjoyment.
I'm still going to read the sequel, and all the theology and human stuff was still pretty cool.
