Expectations blown away! This is a novel that will make you rethink everything you already know. This novel takes on the question what if Jesus wasn't the messiah, and what if the messiah the Jews are waiting on did come, and what if it all went terribly wrong. The author takes you on a prophetic journey. It's hauntingly realistic in what you think "could" happen giving the circumstances. It boggles the mind how much time was spent just hashing out all of the different theories. Absolute master piece. Probably the most controversial fiction ever written.
