I tried to enjoy this book, I really did, but it fell incredibly flat. With a name as enticing as “the greatest story ever told “I thought this would be a retelling of the Jesus story that would really draw me in to the emotions and realities surrounding his life, but it did anything but that. Maryam sounded like a 13-year-old making an autobiography with absolutely no emotion or description whatsoever.

I felt like someone took the scriptures and turned it into a narration rather than turning it into a story to pull the heart strings.

I’m sorry, but this one just isn’t it.

I could not find this book on Goodreads to leave a social review. And I do not post reviews under three stars on my Instagram.
