Wow this definitely sounds like an intriguing read. I would not have expected that after reading the blurb. Great job on the review!

Wow! Great review! I love how in depth you go in your review and how well you laid it all out. Honestly it sounds very interesting even though I don't read much historical fiction. I think it helps that this is more of an alternative history based on this theory. This complex and intricate book will be going on my TBR shelf for now. I've been reading a lot of "heavy" reads lately and am looking for a lighter read. Thanks so much for sharing and congrats to the author on a great review!

Huh, that's quite a topic. I suspect this one gets a bit too abstract and philosophical for my tastes but I can definitely see how others might be drawn to this concept.

This was a wonderfully written review. Really makes me want to read the book. Would definitely count myself among the nerdiest of nerds and glad it doesn't attack Christianity.

The review of "Save the Last bullet for God" says it all and now I am eager to read this book which promises psychology, physics, astronomy, history and much more to look at in one Novel. Congrats on being the BOTD. :)

Post by blakejack1123 »

I don't know if this is a book for me because I get disoriented when stories jump around. Blood and guts....I'm not sure about that either. Overall it sounds like a great story but lately I want easy reads. What a wonderful review though because of your review I am considering reading it!! Thank you!

I love a good complex stimulating story. And a huge fan of SF so this one looks good.

Great job on the review! Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but I can see how the story and message would appeal to a large audience.

Congratulations to the author on being #BOTD and thank you for the insightful review. This book sounds like an interesting read both from the blurb and the review itself but what keeps me from being totally onboard is the jumps across time and it making the story a bit more difficult to follow. Sometimes even when I'm 100% zeroed in and focused I will still manage to lose my way and I fear that this would be an issue with me concerning this book. All in all it sounds engaging and like a good read.

Thanks for the review. This sounds like it could be a very interesting book. I am glad that you liked it enough to give it 4 stars even though you found it in need of some revising.

I'd say this one was tough to review, but you did well! I ended up reading this one a few months back as well!
