I'm with you. I thought the writing was awful. Felt like a formula
format. People sure are ga ga about the book though. I like the fact
that through a tale about art, religion is looked at in a different
way. What I can't understand is, have so few people heard of the
gnostic gospels, matriarchy, goddess worship etc. that it is such a new
idea to so many of them? That's what I'm finding talking to people.
They also want to know more. That's good too.
