The Good Man Jesus And The Scoundrel Christ - Philip Pullman


Written in Philip Pullman's usual simple style, this is a very entertaining retelling of the new testament story.  Using the ingenious idea of twins call Jesus and Christ he is able to offer rational explanations of many miraculous events but doesn't completely remove the need for the supernatural.

A very enjoyable book and an ideal subject for Pullman since in his story it is often religion's fault.

7/10
