I didn't chose the theme of my books on purpose, but it happened that I had a few books recently, one after another, that dealt with religion's topic and in which the religious families/surroundings were part of the plot.
Being grown up in an atheist family with respect to another cultures and traditions I have always considered the Bible being a historical document like an ancient papyrus, and Jesus Christ a literary figure.

Just my small verdict to the topic:
The Bible Boys is a story of Matthew Moore who had bad luck to be born into a radically Evangelical family. Religious fanatically.
With that everything has been said. He didn't have a childhood, he doesn't have any privacy, he doesn't have any friends and he's DIFFERENT.
For me is The Bible Boys a beautifully told episode, actually there are only few days, taken from the life of Matthew Moore at the very important turning-point. When Caleb Clare entered his life and put everything upside down.

For everybody who appreciate a great writing highly recommended!
