I probably shouldn't have seen the movie first. The ending is real trippy, but it takes too long to get there. There's a huge cliffhanger at the end that was probably a set up for a sequel that will never be written, though.
The first half is better. In fact, you can totally disregard the second part entirely. It was an unnecessary addition. The author accomplishes everything needed by the end of the first part.
While reading this book I felt that the author was torn in too many directions. Some of the chapters seemed to be repetitive and told the same exact story, at times almost contradicting itself. I wish that the plot line of the character "Jesus" and "the Father" was expanded upon more in a cohesive manner. I felt that the role of Mary was very underplayed and I would have liked to hear more about the role of her virginity in her life. Although I did see a slight foil to the "Virgin" by the woman of the night "Mary Magdalen". I would have liked to hear the story from a first person narrative dictated by "the Son". His pain and struggle had a glimmer of potential but lacked in it's Harry Potter type "magic". Bringing back a man from the dead? Doctors do that all the time. How about some flying or love spells... now that I could read about. I am looking forward to a possible sequel though, there's a chance the author could fix some of his confusions and find the focus of the story. Mel Gibson did wonders with the film adaptaion and I wish the book could have lived up to it. It's perhaps the only case where the picture outshined the novel. Better try next time though!

For those of you who dont know, this is Gods second novel after the Old Testament. Its a marked improvement, in my opinion. He got rid of a lot of his previous angst and scorn, and has really begun to show some of the maturity present in his later works. Hes become a much more loving and kind God, and, noticeably, he doesnt throw nearly as many tantrums as he did in the first book.
