Book Reviews of The Book of Q: A Novel
Book Review: A Tale of Two Books
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to give this book 1 star for the first 170 pages and 5 for the next 200 and average them together to get 3. This really is the tale of two books. The first part moves along at a very slow and plodding pace with a prose that makes you ask yourself whether it is worth it to keep on reading. Somewhere around page 170 the pace really picks up and your sticking around for the ending really pays off.Basically the book is about an american priest in the Vatican who comes across a conspiracy to destroy the Papal Office and change the whole landscape of Christianity in the process. The way the organization plans to change Christianity is through mass bombings of churches (with the blame being put on Muslim terrorists) and the search for the Book of Q, which is the autobiographical account of Jesus' life. The priest rushes from the Vatican to Greece to Bosnia and back to the Vatican in search of the legendary book and a way to save the Catholic Church.
