The premise of this book caught my attention and had me looking forward to reading it. The birth of Christ is told through the characters present that holy night … including the ox and donkey. There were some moments of humor and, unfortunately, I imagine many Christians will be offended by the way the story is portrayed. The chapters did not flow well and seemed to jump between character views and author’s philosophical/religious opinion. It had so much potential and I am sad at the presentation that resulted.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Essentials for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
