Lew Wallace, 1880

Date read: 7/25/24


This is like Life of Brian but not funny. Basically it is a historical fiction assuming the first four books of the New Testament are history. I really enjoyed it, it's a great story kind of like The Count of Monte Cristo, about revenge and forgiveness. With a lot of Christianity thrown in. Big thumbs up, excellent read.
