The book has two parts, the first told by Jesus and the second by Pilate. I enjoyed the first part a great deal and found it fascinating--how Jesus slowly comes to understand his divinity (and even at the end, there is some doubt.) It made him approachable and relatable in a new way.
The second part, by Pilate, was not so good. It was repetitive, as Pilate comes up with one explanation after another for the strange events surrounding Jesus' death, which eventually became boring. And it lacked a basic knowledge of Judaism--Passover is not 3 days long, for example.
Overall it was an interesting book but the second part could have used some editing.
