A Birthday Present


Christ The Lord, Out of Egypt is the latest novel of my favourite author Anne Rice. This book is hard bound and was a birthday present from my daughter Marielle. I specifically asked her to buy me this book when she asked me what I want for my birthday. And so it means that this book is in my possession for a month and a week already.

I really don't know how to say it but I found the book not as interesting as her other novels. Ohh, this is about the story of Jesus. Honestly, I don't want to be hypocrite, but I found it just an average novel. Sorry friends. But that's it.

you sure do read a lot of books. i need to start reading again but I haven't got the motivation to pick up a book, well I did, just for a minute, only a minute. I have a lot of time in my hands...so I shouldn't have any excuse not to.

Hi Ms. Luchie...I guess her initial foray into the pseudo-religious appears to be not as smooth...Maybe she could do better next time.

I like Anne Rice, too. And I'm also into the subject matter (religious themes) but unfortunately, I found the way the story was told to be a bit boring. It was an interesting take of the Bible story specially since she did some research but it wasn't a very exciting read. I liked the author's note at the end better than the rest of the book. :P
