Next book on deck: Testament
The CBC has been hyping this book since last summer, but I've forgotten about it until today. Ironic, isn't it? I suppose it's even more ironic consideing that Testament is fictitious look at the life of Jesus Christ through the eyes of four of his comteporaries. Instead of having the book told from the points of view of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, as in the Bible, it instead is told from the perspective of Mary, his mother, Mary Magedelum, Judas and a Syrian shepart called SImon. Instead of paroting the miraculous events of Jesus' life and death, the story instead focus' on Jesus as a revolutionary, a man who wanted to change the world. Should be an intersting read and I hope that it's compelling it's been made out to be.
