Review: Great read but the author's "game" tarnished it for me

The book is excellent. The characters are alive and interesting.  The history is fascinating and the development of Christianity comes off very believable.  I thought that the book would be more focused on the development and spread of Christianity.  It is not but that is not a disappointment.  The only this that disturbed me about the book was the author continually says that this was a recent translation of a newly found document from the first century.  While I don't mind the story being told from this perspective, the fact that the author puts so much effort into a front and back story of the discovery and translation of the document made me take the rating from FIVE to FOUR stars.  A good story doesn't need games.
