Review of The God Child
[Following is a volunteer review of "The God Child" by Stuart Rawlings.]
The Little Girl is back with some of her movers and shakers from the past, and some new famous figures. "Why are they here?" you may ask; to set the world straight and make it a better place to live in.
The movers and shakers have to adjust to living in the twenty first century. Shakespeare left a filthy, poverty ridden London littered with garbage and horse manure in his day to find the clean city that it is now. Thomas Jefferson gets a bit touchy while touring his old house that has now been converted into a tourist center and Abraham Lincoln has a melt down.
Some of them have fun like Ludwig and friends. They not only get to enjoy themselves but also manage to get robbed and thrown in jail. Eleanor and her crew also attempt to have fun with a holiday and you will have to read the book to know how it ends. Jesus, Mohammed and Moses are also present and they get to do their thing. Not forgetting Trump who gets preached at by just about everyone.
The Godchild handles some of the societal ills that are bedeviling the world today. It deals with leaders who mistreat and terrorize their subjects. It also shows the fun and light hearted side of human nature and the things that make people happy. And then there's Trump; from being given advice on how to comport himself to being shown how to run America well and having to deal with the fall out from his fans reacting to his change in policies. When the leaders of world religion are faced with misrepresentation by their followers, they set out to fix this e.g. Islam gets another pillar for the faith.
Stuart Rawlings uses simple language that's easy to understand in this book. I found it to be well written and professionally edited. The typos are only two and they do not detract from enjoying the books flow. Profanity is used although it is not excessive. I recommend this work of fiction to adults who enjoy reading fiction and do not mind controversial subjects laced with humor.
I will give this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is unique and thought provoking. I liked most that the author took his poetic licence literally and handled subjects that most people would shy away from. There wasn't anything that I disliked but I must admit that I cringed when the author decided that Jesus and God couldn't handle the affairs of the world so they needed help from the Little Girl. In conclusion we finally have the recipe for world peace from Moses, "Why couldn’t everybody be just “people?” Then they wouldn’t fight each other. Maybe he and other leaders in this region should minimize the labels of being Jewish, or Muslim, or any-thing religious. That would reduce the prospect of war until people found something else to be different about."
