Not my cup of tea but base on reviews, the story has a potential arc so I would definitely re-consider.

This review really guide the reader on what to expect in this book. I don't think this is the book for me. It just seems like alot is going on and then with the time jumps, I feel like I will get lost in this book.

This book takes the reader 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. This operation challenges every preconceived idea that humans have about how the world works and incorporates aliens, occult societies, secret codes, and human biology/psychology.

Although this story is a journey across time, it is not written chronologically. Each section of the story is clearly identified but, it can still be hard to follow the jumps in time. Often, the time jumps are accompanied by a change in perspective or character. It was not difficult to reorient myself as I read but, the flow of the story was broken by these sudden changes.

I enjoyed the free sample and would like to read the entire book. The official review was very good and I agree with the overall rating. I thought this book was going to be about Nazism in WWII but it is much more than that.

What an insightful review@rachel_jacks. You really did justice to this kind of book that incorporated different areas of life with the mission to kill God! That sounds funny! :D
Nice one I must say.

I am not sure I am ready to read such a complicated story. It would seem I need to give my undivided attention to truly appreciate this. Nonetheless, great review.

This sounds fascinating, and it'd be interesting to read about this new perspective on life, considering that there is a lot of science in the book. Thanks for the review.
