Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. It was interesting to hear about Jesus’ life from different perspectives. It was interesting to see how some of the places and names of people were spelled.

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.
