God Bomb by Kit Power

thatsciencedad's review

3.0

A good read but something didn't quite click with me on this one.

My take on this yarn - it's about decisions people make under a high pressure (life or death) situation; the setting in the church and thus the 'religion' sit backseat and never encroach on the main theme.

Kit builds the tension well and has some excellent characterization. In a few pages, he fleshes out characters that would take some writers a few hundred. A good writer, no denying that. And this is a good book: visceral, edgy and in your face. I dig all those appurtenances.

But, some of the motivations of the characters didn't sit right with me. Especially the last scene. Maybe I missed a subtle reference or caveat, but. .No. For me, it did not work.
