It's times like these when Goodreads needs some negative stars...

Ohhhh, why does Christan fiction have to be sooo BAD?!? I'm telling you, I'm a Christian, and there's no way I'm ever going to pick up this badly written, boring crap again. It's riddled with inaccuracies about the time period and daily life, the dialogue is totally and ridiculously fakey sounding, and the history this novel is based on is totally slanted. It's like the characters are living in some alternate universe where everything is bright and shiny and squeaky clean all the time, and bad things only happen so that novelists have something to make money on AND an excuse to show how good and pious they would have been if they had only lived back then. Well I think it's crap and I'm sure glad I didn't buy this book and that I can return it to the library as fast as possible.
