I read the reviews for 33A.D. And I read the book,  enjoying it but honestly finding it just a tad uneven.  I had points I felt I was just reading to see if it got better (it always did).  I certainly enjoyed it enough  to add the author to my "Buy" list though.From the first page I was interested in Vincent.  He inhabited a modern world (Well modern for me!) and was written right into it.  I am a huge fan of natural dialog,  whether it be a conversation between characters or the narration of the protagonist and the author really delivered here.  Wherever Vincent was,  whatever he was doing in this story it always felt right,  here we had a character going through new trials  almost every chapter and he evolved with those changes.  By the end of the book Vincent is all but unrecognizable from his original state  but you will not notice it until you reflect back on the story.  The author simply wrote the character so well you follow his protagonist through this evolution without realizing just how enormous it is.  Wonderful writing,  I look forward to David McAfee's next book.
