Upstairs completed

The True Herod by Geza Vermes is my last book from the "upstairs" part of Dorking library, the far part of the books area up the steps which is exclusively non-fiction. The more popular lower part near the entrance I am roughly half way through, so a lot of fiction books have to be read over the next few months. The True Herod was my last book from the upper regions, and also Geza Vermes's, as it was published posthumously. I'm sure most would agree it's not his best book, and not on the scholarly level of his works on the bible and Dead Sea Scrolls. This is fairly short and packed with a lot of pictures. I am not sure I really got much out of it other than it's premise that Herod was not the villain portrayed in our nativity plays. 4/10
