To write the history of a messiah of the XXI century, Planking had to not fall into many traps. He bypassed much brilliantly. First, the cross-story 4 diametrically opposed characters, is fascinating. It is astonishing, from the outset, the painting made its players, straight out of a thriller, violence and sexually explicit narrative. Difficult in these conditions to talk about rewriting the New Testament. The author makes his characters evolve quite subtly, using to get its message of tolerance. Writing is both rich, vivid and fluid. Although dated 2001, the overall context is still topical burning. But what emerges from the novel is violent criticism of our unbridled consumerism, the condemnation of all fundamentalism and religious and political misuse of spirituality. Whether or not adhere to these concepts, reading makes us ask ourselves many questions, and that's the main thing. Behind the violence, it is a message of compassion and an invitation to understand others. Planking falls only rarely into the trap of preachy, usually can keep the necessary distance and injects the dose sufficient action to keep us in halène throughout these almost 700 pages.
