I found this review of the book. Far more comprehensive than mine. Interesting to read. I had to put the link below as I couldn't figure out how to put up an attachment. It gives you a blank page and a pdf file to download.

3. Conclusion
While Harpur’s The Pagan Christ may have sold many copies, and
changed some lives, its core contentions are seriously lacking any scholarly support. Harpur’s book reveals a cavalier approach to evidence and sources that should undermine anyone’s confidence in the claims of the book. In other words, The Pagan Christ neither respects basic scholarly conventions nor provides a fair and reasonable solution to the questions.
