Book Reviews of Pope Joan: A Novel
Book Review: "Book Club Sin Nombre" Review
Summary: 3 Stars
Our book club in Cancun read Pope Joan for March. We agreed that the topic was very interesting (we want to believe there was a woman pope), the historical aspects engaging (details of life in the dark age & certain characters like the midwife and some clergy), and the overall writing style was fairly good. If we hadn't read this book with a critical eye, we might have been able to enjoy it more. But we also add that many aspects of the plot seemed rather desperate (as if contrived with great effort). Some characters got lost and we wondered where they went. Would have liked to enter Joan's "head" more deeply. Thought the love story was a bit far-fetched. In general, we think it wasn't a bad book, and many people will love it. But those of us who lent it out right away aren't too anxious to get it back into our home selection.
