The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson

I read this : September 2012
This was longlisted for the Man Booker prize2006
The plot is a Scottish minister who lost his faith- if he ever did have any.
After a near death experience in which he is rescued and stays with for 3 days - the  devil  and how that impacts on his life and the life of those around him.
I found the through  first chunk of the book I was waiting for the encounter with the Devil for too long... and then when he does meet him that bit it interesting and then not much of the book is left for the impact.

But don't let me put you off, it's a good story, well written and very enjoyable.
8/10
Have you read it? what did you think of it?
