    ... story is a modern catholic's dream of what a perfect church could be if given the chance of leadership ...The story is a modern catholic's dream of what a perfect church could be if given the chance of leadership of real people living in a real world. Story has lots of every day humor sprinkled with practical ways to solve some of the Catholic Church's issues, both domestic and internal. 5very good bookI loved this book, I rated 4 stars only because it was not available in digital format. Print is small so took a little longer to read, but feel like i have a better understanding of how the pope is elected as well as what he does. Until this book I had no idea what the role of the pope actually was other that as a figure head. This has become one of my favorite books, however I suggest the author make it available in digital format. I would likely purchase a second time if I could place it on my kindle. 4The Accidental PopeThe Accidental Pope is a delightful read. I first purchased the book out of curiosity because Ray Flynn was Mayor when I lived in Massachusetts and I knew he had a stint as ambassador to the Vatican. After reading many histories and historical fictions of life in the early Church, this was a great "what if" story. Heartwarming, funny and entirely entertaining. 5entertainingThis story is really far fetched. Having said that, the book is well written & the dialogue is OK. It holds my interest, even though it is a bit silly. I myself prefer something more realistic but would recommend it for entertainment value. 3Nice book and fun readEasy reading and good for thought for each of us that wish to relax and read some good inspirational words.Author is relaxed and offers a fun perspective of WHAT IF ??? 5boringbought it for a book club read, but quit reading it 1Great Book for the PeopleOutstanding. I am not a follower of the Roman religion. So refreshing to read a story about a humble man who ended up being the most important man in the world. :) 5Uneven; not goodI wanted to like this book because Ray Flynn is a fellow Catholic and a fellow Bostonian, and the basic idea of a pope being elected who is a widower with children has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, there are too many problems. The writing is very uneven; in places it isn't bad, but much of the dialogue is wooden and awkward. The theology is startlingly bad, especially in a work purportedly by a former ambassador to the Vatican. Or perhaps it was very badly edited. In any case I stopped reading altogether when I reached the point two thirds of the way through where the Eucharist was casually said to be symbolically the Body of the Lord (not REALLY!). That, of course, is the Protestant position; it has no place in a book that's supposed to be about Catholics. 2VEERY DIFFERENT BOOK BEING I AM AN ROMAN CATHOLIC I ...VEERY DIFFERENT BOOK BEING I AM AN ROMAN CATHOLIC I HOUGHT IT WS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE TRUE TACHING OF OUR RELIGION 5Eh...While this constitutes a very interesting and entertaining concept, the author has failed in the execution. The writing is stiff, the characterization weak, and the willingness of the reader to accept the story is badly bruised by the failure to develop the conflict within the story. Still, this work is well worthy of attention due to the wonderful concept, the possibilities it presents, and the knowledge one can gain of the Church through the fiction media. Three out of five stars. 3
