Your review points out something that I have first noted when I read the first few pages of the book.
You expect soldiers only to meet with a psychiatrist.
It thus calls for character and deep analytical mind to decipher the contents of this book.
I see that even rating it would be hard. Nevertheless it's a good work you've done.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

This concise review helped me to better understand what is happening in the book. In fact, I don’t think I would read the book without the insights provided by Rachel!

I first thought this is a religious book.Title is eye catching. I am a sci fi fan, though I am not sure if I would read this. Still 50-50 on this

Interesting review but I don't think I can read it since history and science fiction is not my thing but seems like a great book

I don't think this book is for me. The time jumps don't sound like an issue but I'm not a "God" believer so trying to imagine a group of people with a mission to "kill God" is a bit much.

I do like the premise of this book even though the details are still confusing to me. This book sounds more like a psychological or philosophical argument about the existence of God and our purpose in the world. My favorite part is the discussion of aliens and the occult because I like learning about things that are unconventional. I also like the secret plots and missions that encompass this story.

I hope i will be able to understand the book..
From the review, the book is expected to have unexpected explanations of how things take place, argument about the existence of God, complex concepts, new theories . Even the review was not well understood. But i will try it. Congrats on BOD

A nerdy science fiction plot that causes you to question everything you know? It sounds as if reading this is worthwhile. Shame about the gory scenes though!

Wow, good job to the reviewer. This is a tough book to review with its conplexity and subject matter. I do like the idea of all the time travel and alternate world view though.

The sample was really different to anything else I've read, so I can understand your review saying the whole book is weird. I'm intrigued now!

I think the mixture of themes - scifi, conspiracy, historical fiction, thriller, theological musings, etc. give this book an intriguing appeal. It might attract thinking readers.

While it's certainly an interesting concept for a story: kill God, and a vast array of topics brought in to play from aliens to nazis, I think that this is a bit too complex a book for me. Great review explaining it.

This sounds like a fascinating concept that has been fairly well executed and one to consider I think. Great review, thorough and informative. Thank you!
