Book Rating

I read this book a couple of months ago. I liked it a lot. I was able to connect with some of the characters and my only negative opinion about this book would be that I'd have liked to have seen the main character's focal patient, given a bigger story. Picoult really didn't extend on her as well as I'd hoped. The story was believeable, however I was not happy with the ex husband's stance in the beginnging. I guess I'm that way about religion, I don't agree with christians imposing their beliefs on others so strongly.

Merging sci-fi with religion might seem an odd combination, but this novel takes the approach what would happen if the Vatican had proof of extraterrestrial life, with that proof coming in the shape of two eloping aliens who have crash-landed in a small island of the coast of Ireland, just in time for the new Pope's Easter address when he is stumped for ideas.

While it raised a few smiles, it also unfortunately never really raised a chuckle or any deep profound thoughts: this, I found, to be the type of book to read, enjoy, and move on.
