Ok, I'm not going to write a review that says I'm giving this book two stars because the plot is ridiculous, and therefore not even worth analyzing, when what I really mean is, "uh, okaaay...."The meaning that I took away from the book is that religion is an illusion of no value that causes people t...

Eigentlich 4½ statt 4 Sterne, aber auf die Einführung feiner abstufbarer halber Sterne kann ich bei Goodreads wohl warten, bis ich eine Mumie bin...Edit: scheiß drauf, mach ich halt glatte 5 Glitzerzacken draus, vier ist einfach zu wenig. Pah!

I enjoyed many of the themes in this thick satire, but not all of them clicked for me now. Least favorite or least understood - Boaz.

I picked this up thinking it would be the thing to read in that period of the night you should be asleep.It isn't.This book is as sad as I feel. It will make you cry if you weren't already.
