I really enjoyed this book, although it did take a little bit of getting used to. At times I felt there were so many characters it was getting confusing who was who (such as the difference between Angus and Sam McSorely), but the plot was fantastic. The commentaries on the Christian faith were excellent, and well embedded in the character of Jacob, who is sent to the USA from Bolivia to "encounter God."

The idea of having God as a central character, complete with dialogue was something which I enjoyed about this book. As a Christian, the idea of God physically speaking English to you is quite comical, and the image that the author portrayed, of God having a dry sense of humour was fantastic.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and though it took a bit of perseverance at first, I found it was well worth reading to the end.
