Review: Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First, I should say, this is the first book I have ever read by Anne Rice.

I've always been interested in theology based books and movies. I stumbled upon this book by accident at a book store. The book itself was so-so. I understand this was a quest for Jesus as a child to discover who he is/was, but I felt as though the plot was going nowhere. It's like reading a historical fiction about the Titanic. You already know what happens in the end, so why is it taking so long to get there? It would be one thing if it was an unputdownable page turner, but this book really wasn't that interesting or exciting overall. The last 4 or 5 chapters were the most important as it sets up the second book for Jesus's adulthood. Other than that, this book reads like a "day in the life of" kind of book.

I read this book as part of the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2018 - A book set in a country that fascinates you.
