I must admit that I was a little scared to open this book. I avoided buying it when it was out in hardback and waited until it came out in paperback so that I could only invest $6 or so. That way if it took a wrong turn in chapter 2 I wouldn't have too feel like I was throwing away a lot of money. I have been a big fan of Anne Rice for years...I love her vampires but loved her witches even more. I'm a big fiction buff and can separate the fantasy that I read from the reality of history. I'm also a very strong Christian and felt that Anne Rice tackling the character of Christ could go terribly, terribly wrong. I was afraid that she would venture into an area I didn't dare go in my reading. I was so impressed by her portrayal of the character of Joseph. I had never really put that much thought into who he was as the earthly father of the savior. I was fascinated by her take on what it must have been like to know what he knew. I really would recommend this book to anyone who also may be a little nervous of this subject + author mixture.
