Sometimes I read a book and I'm just like, wow, where did this come from? This is just an amazing work of art. Like it's just masterful in every sense.
I don't know why I ended up reading this biography of Pontius Pilate but man, it was so good. I could only read a couple pages at a time and I needed to stop and just think. I just needed to take a minute and think about that's how good this book was.
I have not read a book this good in a very long time.
It is unreal good. Like, as I'm saying, one of the best books I have ever read.
I just came away with this sort of sense that Pilate was a guy with a shitty job in a shitty boss stuck in a shitty situation trying to...trying not to screw it up.
