Re: May BOTM - Featured Review: Save the Last Bullet for God

...the reader is taken on a journey through time across the lives of many well known historical figures to learn about a complex operation that was created with a single mission. Kill God.
An operation involving aliens, occult societies, secret codes, and human biology/psychology. Well, it sounds an intriguing read for fans of the genre. However, I read the sample, and I don't think it is for me. Thank you for the review! :tiphat:

While time shift books can be intriguing, it seems as though this one might not be the book for me. I have never been a huge fan of sci-fi and add in a time shift where I really have to pay attention and follow what is going on, I don’t think I will be reading this one. I appreciate your honest review.

I'm very interested in your enigmatic review. You are careful not to give too much away, but at the same time give us just enough information to really spark our curiosity. This review was very well handled - many thanks.

In this science fiction book, the author has discussed some unbelievable concepts. It sounds like an interesting story with new and bold concepts.

I was confused when I started reading the sample but after reading your review it makes a lot of sense now. I like books that challenge the mind and step outside the box. It's refreshing and knowing that now I would give the whole book a shot.

My reply got lost again!!

Changing our perspective on history and our world happens often, with every major discovery. This author sounds like he's taken that even further and I am totally intrigued. Time shifts, alternate realities, all sorts of science? Exactly what I like.

There. I bought it. The summary, the sample and your review made up my mind so thanks. I just hope my brain is still intact-even if rearranged-once I finish!

Very intriguing book. I like the nerdy part of it, and the idea. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the inclusion of the God topic, though.

"Save the Last Bullet for God" by JT Alblood is not a book I would read as I am a very religious person. Immediately I saw the title of the book, I will be honest by saying am not very happy with the title. I do not like the name of GOD to be dragged in the mud for whatever reason there is. I think I will pass on this one.

Thank you for the elaborate review, good review!

This book sounds awesome! A complex sci-fi/thriller with historical elements, sign me up! I'm very interested to see why the story is not "believable" in the reality we know and understand.

Wow. The concept of killing God.... I am already intrigued, and the time-shitf style sounds absolutely gripping. Thanks for your review.

I look forward to reading this. I'll have to make sure that I do it when I have enough time to actually process and reflect instead of just reading for pure enjoyment. Thanks for the review!

I guess the review of this book was challenging. This is a great review! However, not all reviews have to excite you to start reading the book. This review makes me realise that this is definitely not type of books I would prefer to read.

@rachel_jacks Thank you so much for this review and also for replying in comments! When I saw this book, I thought it would be just an esoteric non-ficthion-kinda-thing, so I'm glad I found your review before closing the page! I'm a huge fan of science-fiction and especially of time travelling stories. Your explanations of the plot are so catchy, that I can't wait to read the book! Occult societies, Aliens and secret codes awaits!

Save the Last Bullet for God by JT Alblood sounds like a great book but not my cup of tea. Am not a fun of multifaceted books but I will recommend it. Great review!
