Talk about a wild ride! I have to say this book takes the cake in mind bending descriptions and pensive theological discussions. Stephen Biro relates, in an unconventional memoir, his experience in finding God. It's not an easy journey he partakes in, but it's a journey he commits himself fully towards. I find that commitment and dedication quite appealing, especially in this world of distractions.
The strongest aspect of Biro's writing, besides his conviction in his beliefs, would be his creative and unique use of descriptions and imagery. He doesn't have the smoothest writing style yet he still manages to create awing and detailed images. Biro states that he sees his book as a prelude to a movie. I would agree that that would be the better medium for the story he relates. To see those images come alive would be incredible.
My only real compliant of the book would be Biro's use of second person. For some it may heighten the artistic experience, but it kept jarring me in an undelightful manner. I was okay with his first person voice but in all honesty I think the story would have been better told through third person omniscient.
I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy taking a look at someone's journey in finding God.
