Eh. I was hoping to proclaim this Frey’s best work. It sure starts off that way, and I think that says a lot coming from me ‘cause I sort of think he's a li’l punk. Definitely an interesting read, though, and the writing style is pure Frey (you either love him or hate him). He certainly tries to shock and awe, and even though I agree almost wholeheartedly with Frey’s views in this novel (the one area where I don’t is that I’m sort of pro-monogamy), and the idea of getting institutions like the Catholic Church all fired up absolutely intrigues me, I felt like it was altogether too preachy without actually delivering anything substantial—the plot kind of crashes and burns at the end. Definitely anticlimactic, and definitely not for everybody. In conclusion? I guess the Son of God is just way too horny, even for me.
