Violence and the Sacred by René Girard

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

2.0

It was quite repetitive and in my opinion pretty boring. I thought there was going to be more biblical analysis as it stated in the blurb that there would be, but apart from a few quotes in the conclusion the book was mainly based around Greek myth (specifically Dionysus), Sigmund Freud, and the Oedipus Complex. There are a few sections on other communities/societies which was interesting.
