I didn't know what to expect with Quarantine, but really got into it and all the various characters. It's an alternative take on Jesus going into the Judean Desert and being tempted by the Devil (only in this instance it's a crooked salesman). Have you read it, lasa?
No, not yet. It sounded interesting but it wasn't a book I had heard of. I think I will have to find a copy though.
