The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis

3.0

This book turned out to be completely different than I thought it would be. I thought I'd be getting an exploration of Jesus's life if he hadn't decided to become the Messiah and die on the cross, etc., etc. That's not what this is at all. Yeah, that was a portion of it, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a very small portion. Most of this was just a re-telling of Jesus's life, but it was a good re-telling. Kazantzakis isn't afraid to make some tough decisions about Jesus's character and therefore make him really compelling. I appreciated that.
