A review by ellaep
The Liars' Gospel by Naomi Alderman
3.5
The first two chapters of this book were closer to a 4 or even 4.25, but the last two were a little boring in my opinion and that lowered my rating.
This book is hard to explain. Imagine if Jesus was a real man. One with parents and siblings, one who made mistakes and was hurt by his own hubris. Through the perspectives of characters with some connection to him we learn about what the region looks like under the occupation of the Romans, what happened when Jesus left his family, and why Judas made the decision to betray his closest friend.
