5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, Powerful, Hypnotic, 18 Nov 2004
By Erika Borsos "pepper flower" (Gulf Coast of FL, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Last Temptation of Christ (Movie Tie in) (Paperback)
Kazantzakis' most controversial novel explores the humanity and
struggles of the Christ in ways the Bible merely implies & intimates. Every aspect of the New Testament version explodes into gripping passionate emotional inner turmoil which you know is leading up to something BIG ... The novel is extremely well written, every character is human, believable and has an individual personality of which aspects are magnified. The battle of the spirit is ever present. You identify with the torment and future possibilities. It is every person's struggle at some point in his or her life. The book is rich in detail and description which making you feel you are living in that era. The outcome is inevitable but the drama and intensity is enormous and spell-binding! Erika Borsos (bakonyvilla)

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT IF..., 25 May 2003
By Boris Zubry "Boris Zubry" (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Last Temptation of Christ (Movie Tie in) (Paperback)
The last temptation... Yes, it was the last temptation. Christ, as all of us, had a choice. He could turn left or he could turn right. When he makes his choice what happens to us? How does it affect us and how does it affect our future? Was he right when he made his choice? How difficult was it to make the choice? What did he feel? What was the temptation?

All these questions and many more I asked myself for years. I have to make choices every day. How difficult is it for me? Am I right making my choices? What are my temptations? Can I answer all that?

Nikos Kazantzakis selected a very difficult field when he chose to answer all these questions. How can you? But he did give us a great version of the possible answers. The book is full of knowledge, ideas and imagination, not counting one of the best writings ever created. My thumbs are up. I loved it and so would you.
