I liked the book. I read it as a fictional book, like it is. I don't understand how people can have such a problem with it. It is a fictional novel. One of the main arguments I've heard against the book is "oh it's presented as fact". Every fictional novel I"ve ever read presents the events that occur in the book as fact. That's how works of fiction work. Lots of the book wasn't believable, but that doens't really wreck it, other things were believable, I don't know much about hte Bible, but it really wouldn't surprise me if Jesus had been married to someone. It could just be something that was left out because whether he was married or not doesn't really have a major impact on his teachings, same with whether he had a bunch of siblings etc.
I don't want to see the movie because I liked the book, but I hate Tom Hanks and I don't want him runining the book for me.
