Some poems were funny, others brought me to tears, but they all portrayed God/god in a sympathetic, human way that gives children and young adults a safe place to think about God and how they perceive Him/Her/It.
Not really a novel in verse. More like a very short collection of poems on a similar theme: the humanity of God. Some of them are more promising (and make more sense) than others, but I was glad to have read them all.
This is a delightful book, a playful and joy-infused paean to humanity and the imagination. It's ostensibly a collection of poems about God, and this atheist found it to be hilarious in parts and sacred in others. Highly recommended.
