Latest Review: Believe What You Want To Believe by Alicia Kristine and George Williams

Post by DancingLady »

I’m curious how this book could be viewed as anything other than an attack on religion, or at least Theism. As someone who believes in God more strongly than anything else, I can only see, from the review at least, that this mission either has to fail in the end, or the story come to a conclusion that is an obvious lie, leaving the reader wondering why he spent so much time working through it.

I don’t know if we are allowed to discuss enough details here to answer my questions, but I would love to hear a little more from those who have already read it. I certainly do not intend to imply that the reviewer was not being honest, I simply don’t understand and would like more information.

I am on the fence about this one. I don't believe in killing God (in fact I don't think you could), but I am interested in how the characters think they can achieve it. On the other hand, would this book edify me in anyway? I am not sure it would.

This book is for more higher reading levels it's really challenging when I first saw it I was like oohhhh a book about the military? Then I read it and this story had a all new meaning. This book is really sophisticated, but it has those moments where your glad to be alive.

Your review just shows the whole story and that was helpful for me because I had no idea what this was about. The author of this story has real creativity!

A very interesting take on world war 2. If it wasn't for the aliens, I would consider this book.

This is an educational non-fiction review through history. The book highlights major historical figures attempting to show the secret mission, to Kill God. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and has an amazing OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @alkan_oktay for the BOTD.

This book does sound a little bit confusing, but it also sounds really interesting. I love science-fiction so I'll have to see about reading this one sometime!

I love alternate reality plots involving historical figures. When the same includes time travel, aliens, occultism and science, what more could one need..

Taking actual historical events and then adding aliens, secret societies and parallel universes makes this book very unique. This sounds like something that I would enjoy. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your very exciting review.

This seems like a complex and thought provoking book. I'm interested in time travel and historical genre so this is right up my alley. I'm just confused with the concept of killing God and the alternate universe thing. But I still feel like reading this. Thank you for your review!

This book sounds fascinating. Historical figures come back to life for a ultimate mission: to kill God. The time jumps seem a bit too hard to follow.
