I've previously listened to his excellent work in genres including scifi and horror, but this was my first experience of something more traditionally literary. Joshua Saxon's superb narration is absolute perfection. The way Kazantzakis brings to life the Galilee and Jerusalem of Jesus's time is truly astonishing. The vast majority of the story is an intimate and wonderfully descriptive retelling of the story of Christ, with a slight but very interesting deviation near the end. Having been totally blown away by it when I first read it in my early 20s, I was very excited about revisiting it in audiobook format. The Last Temptation of Christ is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read.
