Utter hogwash. I'm not uber-religious, and I enjoyed "DaVinci Code" as pure entertainment, but this was just riding on the coat-tails of Dan Brown.
Seriously poorly written. Does every character need to "sob"? Does every character's face have to be "bathed with tears"? Honestly. My creative writing students could do better than some of the schlock McGowan tries to force down our throats.
While a somewhat interesting alterna-view of Mary Magdalene, save your time and skip this, unless you like to giggle a lot while reading supposedly serious prose.
