Mary choosing to be a disciple…the book is supposed to be funny but the one moment any female reader is looking for is a shit line about getting nausea whilst traveling. Moore wrote Mary to be fierce and then takes the cowards way out by making her excuse her own exclusion from being as apostle as though she just *wasn’t cut out for it*. Mary Magdalene deserved better.

Of course, this is still a book written by a man so women are still talked about as objects. We’re either the Madonna or the Whores.

Plodding. It’s been droll but not quite humorous enough. I’m sticking around because I know what’s going to happen and I do enjoy Moore’s envisioning of a young Jesus/Joshua, especially as a foil to Biff. The book makes me sad though. Know what’s going to happen to Joshua…and I know that his legacy will be bastardized.
