It seems this connection between the title and the content eluded my mind. I guess the fantasy part comes with the creatures that were used to hunt souls. This might have been the reason for it being classified under this genre. Thanks a lot for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. It might surprise you that you will find the book more interesting than how I found it. I hope that the typos will be corrected.

Latest Review: Chats with God in Underwear by Eduardo Chapunoff

What appealed to me was how the author had adequately built all the characters by revealing both their flaws and strengths.

Great review! I just might read this book next!

I can imagine the confusion that would be brought about if a country suddenly changed its official language. Racism takes many forms. Great review!

This is very true. It could be better to have two official languages or let it be a slow process that will eventually come to be in a nice way. Thanks for the reply.

I never got the connection of the title and the content or what it alluded to quite well. Thanks for the reply.
That's something I was wondering about, too. Nonetheless, I do hope we'd all attain more cooperation and peace. Thank you for your thoughtful review.

It is what may not be established soon but I'm sure there must be a link somewhere. Thanks a lot for the reply.

The real story gives depth to the plot despite its flaws. I think this book is not for me. But I am glad you enjoyed it. Great review.
