Well Played Pullman. I think we
can all agree that “His Dark Materials” was pretty fantastic. So I grabbed
this because a) I enjoyed that series and b) I genuinely like books that touch
on what life was like for Jesus – and I’m an Agnostic Jew (yes. We can do
that). The problem is, that while I’m
fully on team “Well Played Pullman” I fumble in that I didn't actually really
enjoy this book. I had trouble getting through it for absolutely no good
reason. It’s well written in an easy clearly laid out way. It’s not too long or
too short and it’s a clever idea. So
yes. “This is a story” as Pullman says, and Pullman is without a doubt a
masterful storyteller. I like the slant he took, I like the mischief, I like
how it held fairly true to the written gospels and I liked the Humanistic
aspect the story took.
But I didn’t love it. I’m not
quite sure why.
