badcanadian 's review for:

Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos

2.0

---

I'm a big fan of Jesus and his teachings. I am not, however, a Christian in any organized or individual sense. Maybe that has something to do with my somewhat minority-report review of this book. From the reviews, I was expecting hilarity. I found it mildly amusing (at best) at times - boring and tedious at others. I was hoping for something thought-provoking - there was a little of that, but way too little. Came across as too much of a sales pitch to me. I was hoping for something like Christopher Moore's Lamb (which I loved and can recommend highly) but this is not in that league. I won't call it a waste of time (though I almost gave up and quit several times), but I'm glad I borrowed it through Lendle rather than paying for it.
