Many parts of this book were well-written but as a non-Christian, I had no idea wtf was going on. I think you have to be raised Christian or have a degree in it or something to know what any of half the book means. Because each chapter flip flops between the religious white noise (because that’s all it was to me, someone who knows zero about the bible etc.) and the main plot, it was like every other chapter I was just skimming like hoping a sentence would mean anything to me, even my own interpretation!
Loved some of the different styles approached at the end: the playwriting, the quick back and forth to see what’s happening where, thealternate endings.
Parts of this book were a 5 and a 4.5 but ultimately, since I don’t get these Christ sayings or anything, I had to give a 3.75 which is quite impressive considering I felt like half a book is missing. Will definitely read another book by this author so long as it covers topics where I can understand the larger literary metaphors and meaning because this author is definitely going to assume that we’re all of the same background and education as s/he/they is and just write it with zero background/explanation.
