ah, I wish you had not told me that, V.
I want more of a question of identity, or perhaps something more than a question of identity. i'm reading this an extremely exact replica of the stories from the bible--everything is an allusion practically. For what purpose? So the Jesus story gets a modern facelift; is it to show how He would operate in our times?
Perhaps it is just me, but it feels dangerously close to the original, and I'm not sure what I am supposed to take from it. It does not give me any twists that I noticed, nothing to subvert it, so I can read and like what I read, but move on relatively untouched once I'm finished.
I'm not sure if I'm making sense, feel free to critique the critique, as I'm bound to be missing too many things
