Book Review

I would spend all day reading if I had the time.  Currently I'm working on Killing Jesus by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard.  It's excellent.  It reads like a story almost more than a history book (even though that's what it is) while being incredibly educational.  I thought I knew a lot about this time and place and its people, but I have been learning new things all through the book.  I have just finished the chapter for the Wednesday before the crucifixion.  I think I should make sure I have plenty of time to sit and read before I start on the next chapters.  I suspect it will be difficult to put the book down once I get into the arrest and crucifixion parts.

Other good things about the book...there's an index, maps, footnotes, the writing is so clear and easy to read that you don't have to be any kind of rocket scientist to understand.  And if non-fiction isn't your thing, I would recommend reconsidering or making an exception.  I have Killing Lincoln sitting on my shelf.  I might have to read that next.  I need to get Killing Kennedy so I can have read all three.  And the authors are working on a fourth book now related to World War II.  I'm turning into a history junky.  :)
