I approached the book expecting to either love or hate it but in fact, I never hated it and indeed I started off by loving it. The different narrators for each chapter to tell the story is carried off with aplomb and I remain of the view that Frey is a talented writer. Personally, I was never offended by the central argument, but that will depend on your own belief system. But what I did find, which was unexpected, was that by around half way through, it actually started to bore me. Judith's chapter, an over-weight and unloved woman who becomes a follower, and which in fact has one of the largest page counts, was by far the least interesting.
The reason for this is that his Messiah, Ben's solution is that we should all just love one another and, if possible have sex with one another and then it will all be OK or if not, at least we'll have had a good time in the process. That's hardly a new position (no pun intended) to take. The 1960s anyone? John Lennon? It ends up as being little more than a hippy manifesto and apart from the fact that he appears to glow, has strange epileptic episodes and survived a bad accident, there's little to suggest why people would listen to Gentle Ben.
I loved the idea of each chapter told from different people's perspectives (we never get Ben's). But there's too much of a whole at the centre in the form of Ben. Yes, fans of Richard Dawkins may well appreciate the denouncing of organised religion but Ben doesn't suggest anything terribly radical or inspiring as an alternative. All he has are some liberal beliefs, which to be fair to Frey, might be more controversial in the US than in the UK.
