I'm still trying to wrap my head around this review. I guess the book will be interesting to read.

I am bit confused. Is this actually a fiction or a collection of intellectual topics from various subject areas? Anyway this one seems out of my preferred reading scope. Congratulations on being BOTD

Only a brilliant mind could have pulled it off! Many loose ends until the fat lady sings. Well done with a thrilling review and an amazingly creative plot.

This book sounds very controversial to me! To link to being shot, whether seriously or in fiction to write a book, is not something anyone should do! I am sure this would not be a book I would ever want to read! Thanks for the great review!

Latest Review: Do You Remember Me? by Wm M Crouch

Post by Stephanie Elizabeth »

Wow. That is a lot to unpack. A book that challenges the readers to question everything they think they know about historical events and operations pointing to an end result of killing God? This sounds intriguing, but I fear my limited background in science would leave me lost. Also, the changing of perspective and flip-flopping through topics could be quite confusing. I think I will have to pass on this for now. Thanks for the informative review!

This book is very complex in so many ways. I am curious to know how the author strung all these aspects within the narrative. :techie-studyinggray:

Great review and very enlightening. I am somewhat intrigued about that last sentence in the story, and I do like science fiction to a point but the graphic violence is too off putting for me.

What an unusual concept! From the brief excerpt I read, I was expecting an alternate history story not a book about a mission to kill God. I can see why you say it was difficult to find it believable. Thanks!

This book sounds too quirky for me. And from the pages I read, I can see how the Official Reviewer was confused as the author jumped around a bit in a disjointed fashion. I will not be reading this one.

Even after reading your thorough review, I am still unsure about what to expect from this book. It seems quite complex.

Time shifts and changing perceptions of reality are difficult topics to write about. I am on the fence about this #BOTD. Good review

The book title and the book cover are as intriguing as the story. There's so much in this book to look forward to. It will definitely be a treat for sci fi lovers.
And as far as the review is concerned, I think it's top-notch for such a complex work of writing.
Thanks for this amazing review :tiphat:
