Amazing title. One will wonder why the mention of the last bullet! Looks like the reality of life is well narrated in the book. Great review, rachel_jacks. Thanks.

This book is much too dark for me, so I won’t be reading the whole thing. I appreciate the insights shared in this review. I too, have to say that it’s easier to enjoy a book if the reader isn’t confused much of the time by time jumping or something similar. Thanks for a good review.

This sounds like a complex book, one to read when fully awake and focused. The review has left me with mixed feelings, I don't think I'd like the science fiction aspect with aliens (but I have been pleasantly surprised before!),at the same time I am curious about the secret operation.

Being a God fearing girl I can’t say that I like the title or the implied idea of the story.
I thought the review was well written though. Nice job on the review!

Reading stories that do not blend well with the mainstream knowledge has never been my cup of tea, except for science fiction. However, I like it that the author has presented an "in-depth discussions involving psychology, physics, astronomy, history, and more." Congrats on the BOTD!

The title caught my attention. The book seems complex and I'll like to read it. It may have its flaws but I applaud the author for putting together this complex book.

Thanks for the review! Truth be told, I am not so sure that I would be able to read this book, even as a Christian. The concept of killing God or saying "God is dead" does not bode well with me because of my beliefs. However, the author seems to be very creative in their writing. :)

This is one serious suspense. From the review and perhaps to the book itself, there is that suspense. It's funny how the reviewer said that you won't fully understand until you reach the end. I guess we'll have to pick this up. Thanks!
