a dark, irreverent joyride through the second coming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
i picked it up looking for a dark chuckle and i was wellrewarded. the messiah returns, choosing for his apostles a group ofthe slimiest criminals europe could produce. their trek through millennium europe towards eurodisney leads straight through public officials unwilling to be seen as modern pilates and gullible believers with a decidedly modern, violent and sexual outlook on what it takes to be saved. it has weak elements; the messiah is vague as a character. he is virtually absent from the book. he has little to say and there is no background info for him that might have given his coming more impact, but the overall story is the reaction to his coming by a world willing to be duped. watching this parade is more fun than worrying too much about who is leading.

A very creative imagination places this entertaining story with its messiah in Disneyland, of all places. That's a first.
