About halfway through i lost interest. I think this would only be controversial to Literal Christians, Meister Eckhardt fans and people who don't like reading descriptions of disgusting hardcore pornography. It's basically his story and he isn't really as interesting as he thinks. The other thing is like all books these days it seems to be written for young adults. ( )

IQS-2/7

Libro 2021 ( )

I read this too long ago to review properly; what I mostly remember, at this remove, is that Carrere seems like the sort of person I'd run away from at a bar--unable, or unwilling, to see that there's no difference between his past, self-satisfied Catholicism, and his present, self-satisfied, well, bourgeoisdom. I was expecting to really like the thing, since I'm interested in the bible, and in conversion stories, and in world-weary scepticism, but I suspect that you'd just have to be much, much more something to really pull it off, and Carrere doesn't seem interested in being anything much, other than unreflectingly rich and successful.

Basically, if someone writes about their holiday home(s) in their fiction, I no longer care about what else they write. My knee is jerking. ( )
