Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice, a review from Salon by Laura Miller.
"What's really surprising about Christ the Lord is that it's pretty good....The restrictions Rice imposed on herself in the first volume of Christ the Lord [Out of Egypt] have resulted in what is surely the most literary of her books, and all because she is forced to abandon her customary efforts to be 'literary.' Out of Egypt is the story of a seven-year-old Hebrew boy living in first-century Palestine and unaware of his momentous destiny, and it is told in his appealingly simple voice."
