Summary of this Book...
In communist Mexico where religion has been outlawed, a whisky priest struggles between his faith and his humanity.
This type of Book is good for...
Understanding the effects of communism on small villages.
I especially liked...
That the catholic priest is human and flawed and gives in to his passions.
I didn't like...
The pacing of this novel is slow and the action does not really pick up until the end of the novel.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Research mexico and the short history of communism.
This Book made me feel...
A bit disappointed. I had heard tremendous things about Greens work and found myself a bit let down.
The author of this Book...
Graham Greene
I recommend this Book because...
It shows frality in the catholic church, shows that priest are human first.
I don't recommend this Book because...
It is dreadfully slow paced and anticlimactic.
Further Comments...
Read this book on a rainy day.
