Title: Can I give it zero stars
Product review: One of the worst books I've ever tried to read -- and I'm an avid reader of science fiction (which is the gendre the author puts this books into) as well as alternative history, futurism and religion. But this is simply atrocious. I'm sorry that the 5-star reviewers haven't read anything more inspiring than this overwrought diatribe. Besides the annoyingly quirky syntax and stilted dialog, it's filled with such laughably innane concepts such as 'the city of God's people' which has streets paved with pure gold and gates incrusted with precious jewels. Please -- just a little creativity would have been refreshing. I can't even get into the trite and unimaginative construct he calls the 'blue spot'. I was hoping for a great read based on all these reviews but this isn't even a 1-star book. Don't get me wrong, the author's message is a good one -- but we've heard it all before -- many, many times in many (better) ways.
