The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene
4.0

I was told by a friend that the Power and the Glory is, "BEST BOOK EVER AND IF YOU DON'T LOVE IT TO DEATH LIKE I DO I WILL CRY OR AT LEAST BE VERY SAD INSIDE."

Well, I did really like it. There have only been a few books that I could confess love to, though. So I hope I didn't completely destroy my friend's emotional state.

There is definitely a parallel between the priest's service and that of Christ, not that either of these characters are very similar at all. I think what I liked most about this story was the continual service to others and the enduring redemption that the priest sought. It was well worth the read.
