Title: Cracking read
Product review: Vidal effortlessly dismantles Christianity's pompous and often trite traditions and beliefs in this most enjoyable of iconoclastic romps. Ironically, he puts religion per se into a perspective that most non-believers can have some kind of faith in. Religious believers will condemn him for his blasphemy, which one can only assume would be the most satisfying aspect of the book for him. The language is smooth, the innovation compelling and the overall effect satisfying on every level. Not a classic but a great two-fingered salute to the hypocritical, conservative and wholly irreligious Church Establishment. Blue-rinsed church wardens and dubiously motivated church council members will hate it, which I am sure will make Mr. Vidal very happy.
