It’s
not every day you find out the father you grew up with is not your
real dad.
Rarer
still is the day your mother tells you she’s … a virgin.
Enter
The Reluctant Jesus, quite an amusing novel by Duncan
Whitehead.
In
this story, Whitehead treats the reader to a compliment of
interesting characters, clever situations and witty quips.
“The
Manhattan Streets were flooded with secretaries and (female) office
workers in short skirts and skimpy tops which contained less cotton
than a Tylenol bottle.”
The
action centers around Seth Miller, your friendly neighborhood
architect-bachelor, and the surprising ‘revelation’ that he is
actually the son of God (well, A son of God), with an Antichrist to
battle, and the future of the world on his shoulders.
The
first few chapters are essentially foreplay, but soon enough my funny
bone was fully engorged, and enjoyed a fulsome tickling, to the end.
I
recommend this book for the reader who’s looking for a laugh, and
rate it at 4 out of 5 stars – a good score for a good book.
