Title: Rather disappointing: adds nothing new to the tale
Review: While an enjoyable read, this story adds very little to theknown tale of Jesus. Neither his divinity nor his humanity isexplained beyond what we already know, except in the most obvious manner (Early on, Jesus questions his divinity - Gee! What an insight!).It seems Mailer, oddly enough, tries to avoid controversy and gives us a nicely told, but ultimately redundant story. The big question for me was, "Why did he bother?"
Is the review positive or negative?
