The Tragedy of Fidel Castro

This story had so much potential. I loved the idea of Jesus intervening in the lives of mortals. But in the end I was disappointed. The thing is, I can't say exactly why I was disappointed. The book is very well written and, at times, wickedly funny, but the story just didn't resonate with me.

I loved the exchanges between God and Jesus; a troubled Father / Son relationship. However the majority of the novel involved JFK and Castro, so it was a long wait between the clever and humorous dialogue.

I found it a chore to get through, and no book should be that. Having said that, I understand that this is a political satire and I may not be in the correct target audience (a sleep deprived new mother may not have the required concentration and patience).
