Title: Thoughts of a Pope
Review: A prescient book about the future Popes, evidently published the day John XXIII died.Prescient in that John Paul 1 evidently wanted to give much of the Churches wealth to help the poor and John Paul II was from Eastern Europe (Poland).Interesting extracts from the Pope's 'diary' where he writes his personal thoughts about wanting to make his mark on the Vatican and the world.I was a bit disappointed in the end where it was rather left hanging without a final climactic action but overall an excellent read.The film of the book had a better finale but was only loosely based on the book (inspired by?).The Shoes of the Fisherman
