"And you, liar, teller of tall tales, you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot. You murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar, and turn the sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because He could simply die for a good song!" --Nikos Kaztantzakis, "The Last Temptation of Christ"

Is the book any good? I had a chance to see the film a few years back and was surprised by its tameness (in my opinion).
I didn't read the book, but did think the movie was provocative enough. The book was a bestseller.
