pickThe first and second parts of the book were intense. With compassion and empathy Milligan expertly spelled out the impact the mother had upon her son and the consequences of religious fanaticism. The third part of the book left me wanting so much more.
pickThis is an interesting story about how dangerous it can get when the leaders become too powerful by using shame and fear, esp in a religious setting. There were parts where the main character seemed too passive, too peripheral to the story. I would have loved to have witness more of an internal battle that I‘m sure he would have experienced but it‘s a minor critique. Overall, I felt the story was captivating and strong.
I was completely engrossed in this book from start to finish. Caleb lives in Oklahoma with his parents and older brother. They attend the First Baptist Church, but Caleb's mom begins to become a bit more "zealous". She starts talking about the end times, the book of Revelation and basically scaring all the Baptists out of their pews. She tells Caleb that he was born of a virgin birth and that he is Jesus.
