Title: Jesus made boring
Review: My bookclub picked this book and the decision was unanimous: Boring! It takes some talent to make a bloody riot in Jerusalem a yawn, but somehow Anne Rice managed it. The most interesting part of the book was the Author's Note in the back. However, all the extensive research Rice claims to have done doesn't really show itself. The book is strangely devoid of any sense of realism. Rice's characters all feel distant and undeveloped. Even her efforts to add historical context feel sketchy. My suggestion? If you want a novel about the early years of Jesus, read Christopher Moore's "Lamb: The Gospel According to Jesus' Childhood Friend." It doesn't even pretend to be Biblically or historically accurate, but you care far more for this Jesus than Rice's hollow portrayal.
