Didn't know about the new novel by Anne Rice... hmm... |
|
It doesn't look like it's any good to me. But then, her other books didn't look any good to me and apparently they still sold well. Rice's most daring move, though, is to try to get inside the head of a 7-year-old kid who's intermittently aware that he's also God Almighty. "There were times when I thought I couldn't do it," she admits. The advance notices say she's pulled it off: Kirkus Reviews' starred rave pronounces her Jesus "fully believable." But it's hard to imagine all readers will be convinced when he delivers such lines as "And there came in a flash to me a feeling of understanding everything, everything!" Doesn't every young boy come to the conclusion that everything revolves around them? It came to me in a flash when I was seven and full of years that my own awareness of the world was the whole world, which existed just for me. But then I realized I was just a bit of cosmic dust among a few billion others of the same type of dust instead. |
