The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis

 The Last Temptation of Christ 

By Nikos Kazantzakis 


Rating 5/5 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Genre : Bibilical, Jesus Christ, Historical Fiction, Fantastic 



Stunning and Spectacular! Stupendous! Marvelous!! No words to describe the ecstasy I feel reading this beautiful and miraculous story from the life of Jesus Christ. Grasped the essence of the greatest biblical tale ever! 🤓🥳


Nikos has accomplished something exceptional. He has espoused the role of Jesus Christ and got under his skin,into his soul and bared it for the reader to see/experience a visceral battle within him as he fights to find a way back to Godhead. He showcased how both vulnerable and strong the savior is at the same time !! 🤗


I have always wanted to read a book on Jesus' life - which is not Bible. This one it is! 😍 It is ultimate! Jesus has had many temptations all through his life and he has suppressed or overcome them .. until the last snare the devil lays to bait him while on the cross .. a life filled with simple joys and contended married life with no thoughts/yearnings of bringing heaven onto earth. Without God's aid, it's difficult and impossible even for his own son to overcome the temptations of flesh on this earth..what to speak of the rest of the world?! 🤔🙄


One of my favorite books ever !!! 💝💖💯

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough book review

The Thorn Birds  By Colleen McCullough  Rating 3.75/5 Genres : Australia, Vatican city, Cardinal, Romance, Generational fiction, Historical fiction  Bah. I dont know. I felt this is just an ok sort of book. The only aspect that stirred me and struck a chord with me is the all encompassing, soul level love between Maggie and Father Ralph de Bricassart. Everything else - no matter how juicy,emotional or dramatic just failed to make an impact. The story covers the lives of three generations of women of the Cleary/Armstrong family line - their cherished dreams and dashed hopes, their hurts and heartbreaks over unrequited, failed loves..their finally getting what they wanted but it not being fully enough.. well, it sounds and feels like a roller coaster.  And whats more..there is plenty of repeat in the events of their lives..what has happened to the mother, happens to the daughter and so on..  Coming to the story. Maggie Cleary is brought up with a bunch of brothers in a very p

Book Review : The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Perfect Couple  By Elin Hildebrand  (Nantucket #3) Published Year : 2018 Page Count: 347 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Drama, Crime, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  The ending is such an anticlimax and a let down for me - it almost feels like being cheated. I got so high and invested in the narrative..I lost sleep for most of last night and was reading all day since I got up this morning. The character development is ooof .. the characters are filled with life, credulity and fly off the page into the reader's mind space. I loved the layout of the narrative. I loved the writing.  I would have liked if the mother of the family was a bit on the negative side as well. I mean, really, having Nicole Kidman play the role and making it all cute, nice and kind, compassionate is like wasting enormous talent. I picked this book because I saw an ad that there is a limited series coming up on Netflix starring Nicole Kidman and other in
