Das Jesus Video. [German]

This was one of the better thrillers I have read in quite some time. Although there are a few holes, the book was well-written and well thought out. What I liked about this particular book is that the author didn't leave you hanging - at least not entirely. The plot centered around a search for a video camera and cassette tape that were supposedly used to film Christ 2,000 years ago. During most of the book you aren't sure whether the whole thing is a huge hoax or whether it really happened. During several of the chapters the reader is left thinking that Christ never existed at all. As has been said in other reviews, the camera and video are eventually found and that is where many thriller authors would have left things, principally because of the complications involved in continuing the plot from that point. However, this author actually takes the plot several steps further and clears up a lot of loose ends. The book pictures the role of the Catholic Church in all of this in a very negative way. Many soul-searching questions and points are taken up as the book goes along. I thought the plot was intriguing and thought provoking. I would recommend this book to anyone. Sadly, I think it is only available in German. The author ought to get it translated into English so it can be put on the English-speaking market.

I have read this book when I was about to finnish my finals, I thought I am going to fail them because I simply couldn't stop read this book even for a slight second. highly recommended!

The story of this book is very intriguing. Over the course of the book a video that shows the living Jesus is found and in the end some parts revealed. But the important part is not so much just what the video shows but how it will affect each of us. The book is well written and the tension does not lessen over the whole book. I do not want to reveal to much but this book is well worth to read and you should take the time to consider how it would affect you if it all was real. What if ...? Holly
