So, recovering from a sinus infection as I am, I could not sleep all night last night. Instead, I read the second Ann Rice book "Christ the Lord - The Road to Cana". Here we find Christ at 30 years old. This book follows him from right before his baptism to the wedding feast at Cana. I must admit that I was slightly weirded by some of the dialogue in this one, the fact that Christ was attracted to a woman, among other things. But, he was tempted in all ways like we were, so I assume he did have attraction to women, and he handles it very well in the book.
Interestingly, my complaint about the first book - that it was poorly written - has begun to develop some in this book. The writing style is significantly better (still not the best written book I have ever read), but I think the author is developing Christ's mind as he matures, and thus brings up the style of her writing a notch or two.
Overall, I think this one was a little better than the first, but now I will have to wait for the third one to come out before I can finish the story up.
