Negative Positive
Title: Well, it is a good idea...
Review: In the hands of a master (i.e. James Morrow or Daniel Easterman) this novel could have been a devastating depiction of a millenial Second Coming. Unfortunately, poor writing and heavy, heavy handedness ruins a great concept and the story possibilities are turned into a cheap attack on organized religion. Perfect fodder for the movie of the week which is its destiny, a skilled screenwriter may give the concept all that this book lacks: Sensitivity, Intelligence, and Depth. Hopefully, the original author, his narrow mindedness, and the airhead characters he created (or cloned from many other thrillers) will not be part of the tv movie's creative process. Don't just wait for paperback, wait for tv on this one.
