Title: Just Look at the Pictures
Product review: I realize that I'm coming late to the critical table on this one, but I've only just read it. Pointless though denouncements may be in the face of this book's popularity, I thought it was awful; shoddy religious history, overdone narrative devices, and stock characters in the service of a story that comes to a weak and displaced conclusion that seems to have dropped out of the sky into the final chapter. Everyone loved it, I know. Not me. The illustrations were the only pleasurable part of the experience.
