I can't give this book low stars because content wise, it's some interesting stuff. I just could not get into the writing style.

I appreciated the various reflections about God and the role of God in lives and “fate.”  It is a rather full exploration of human depravity and responsibility.  …and drugs, money, power …and aging, death and dying.  A lot to pack into a fast-paced whirlwind.  The dialogue alone is worth the price of admission. …as are the philosophical monologues.
