 This book gave me a roller coaster of reactions, but in the end, it wrapped up well and made sense, and any barbs directed at Christianity seemed to be just passing rather than integral to the point of the story. In fact, however unintentionally, this story really highlighted for me how glad I am to know that I DO get to to live forever with Jesus. 

 As usual, the author does a fantastic job combine elements of traditional life with modern technology,  in a way that really allows for the complexity of the contrast, without making either side totally the villain.
