Now finished. Apparently Barak Obama called it "an elegant proof of God, and the power of storytelling". Good grief.

I found the bit in the lifeboat quite interesting, if horrid in places. I was disappointed by the flatly impossible bits. I thought the conceit of it being a real-life story old-hat and unnecessary.

It wasn't worth the 20p and my time, sadly.
