rating: 4/5
i read this book academically for my history class at elmhurst and i'm glad i did coz this book was fucking ridiculous and i loved it. i apologise, voltaire—i was not familiar with your game. the jesus x reader fanfic i read on wattpad has you to thank because this is indeed the original crack fic. this book somehow manages to be absurd while also being educational of the socio-political values of the age of enlightenment. it's a good cerebral read, even though i crammed half of it the day before my 19th birthday because i was behind on the essay i had to write on it which was literally due in one day. can't say i remember much of it anymore except for the ambiguous ending and martin being an icon. i would be glad to reread this book someday. definitely making it required reading if i ever end up teaching an english class in uni.
