Continuity issues always distract me from storylines, even when story lines are intriguing. Only certain authors can make time jumps work, others fall hard on their sword by attempting it. Either way, this book seems interesting and unique. Thanks for the review!

The review is very good. However the book is complex and full of explosive of events past and present. If you would to challenge your mind. Then you owe it to yourself to read it. The real and the unreal.

A really great and insightful review. This doesn't seem like my kind of read though.
Congratulations to the author for getting such a great review.

My god! A secret mission to kill god sure looks a very very unbelievable plot. This and your detailed review explaining the intellectualism of the book makes it tempting to read. Thank you
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

I wasn't sure if this book was for me, but I knew I had to read it after reading your review! Wow! I think I will have to read the book again, because I missed a couple of things. It's one of my favorite books now. However, I agree with you that a change in sequencing would probably help it flow better.

I thought that this might be my next book to read, the title is great but it looks too complicated for my liking.

I got interested when I read the title. Although this story is a journey across time, it is not written chronologically. I'm a bit distracted when the story goes like this. Beautiful review and I've learn something.

Interesting book. I've skimmed over it wondering if it was actually defying God in any way, but with your interpretation gives me a new perspective. Thank you

Thank you for your review. As I glance it, I also taught about something involved in war. I was also wrong. A pretty cool review. I like it.

Questioning the reality of life is a highly intellectual, and I must add philosophical, concept indeed. The fact that this book questions that while going through historical events sounds intriguing. However, I am not sure I am up to read about guts and crude stuff like that.
