Title: Staggering
Review: I was mesmerized by what passes for dialogue, character development, and story telling technique in this novel. Not one character behaves in a plausible manner, especially the putative messiah. One gets the impression that the author knows nothing about theology or the bible. Even more disconcerting is how clueless he is about human nature. Much of the book details the author's personal grudge against religion and other more interesting aspects of the plot are ignored. The plot potential is staggering and the inability of the writer to effectuate it is disheartening. I'm afraid Kleier is just not up to the task he set for himself either intellectually or in writing faculty.
