Book 17: The good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ - Phillip Pullman

I was listening to an interview with Pullman on BBC and was drawn to what the author said about this book - which was this one made it to my reading list.
The book according to the cover is "a story of how stories become stories." A very apt description. The plot is thus- Mary has twins- Jesus and Christ. Jesus is the staunch believer- the one who believes completely that "the Kingdom" is coming soon. Christ is the weaker younger brother who is more a believer in organized religion. It was quiet interesting - but probably not as much as I thought I would.
