Very interesting idea! It's fun to see what someone thinks may have happened during those missing years of Christ's life. Parts of the book are very moving, parts are a bit campy. Christ's friend, Bif, partakes in a lot of sex, which kind of distracts from the story I think. It's not pornographic, and it's not overwhelming, just a bit campy and unecessary at parts. The ending is a surprise twist, and the overall story is very good. Actually makes me want to go read the Gospel!
