"A novel full of completely unredeemable characters and pages of gibberish the author, who could learn a thing or two by reading the Bible, clearly projects as what he thinks a neo-scientific God might say, but sadly, actually embodies the very real ideas of a modern-day Satan - in fact, I kept reading hoping that in the end, the book would redeem itself by admitting this so-called 'voice of God' was really the voice of the Enemy. But no such luck. Had the bad and misguided 'fanatics' and 'religious people' been balanced with some form of true Christian sanity, it would have been bearable to accept Spates, Crawley & Eddy as the true villains - but the problem is, there is no one else to pull for, so you just pray the whole mountain blows up and no one survives. Unfortunately - they do and we are spared nothing. Yuk - just plain yuk."

"I don’t know how many times I told Doug he would burn for writing that book! But did he listen? No."

"If I get there first, Linc, I’ll be sure to save your place."

"The characters come out of late-night television dramas. The plot requires suspension of reality to the point where paranoid quasi- paranormal drama is normal. Um... the progress of the book is well- paced, it's super easy to read, and it's moderately distracting from whatever dental surgery you may be undergoing at the time. However, it's designed for people who move slowly because they have tiny brains. The plot is obvious and easily guessable. The characters require incredulity to accept. Every three paragraphs, when you begin to think you're reading a comic book, they spout off some Internet research about a technology or Egypt. I have read books this bad before but they weren't best sellers. I would only recommend this to people with a fear of polysyllabic language."

"This review brings to mind the immortal words of the Irish writer Brendan Behan: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.""

"On our numerous bookstore appearances, we haven't noticed any readers who moved slowly or had tiny heads. On the contrary, most were distinguished by their intelligence, wit, and normally-proportioned skulls – not to mention their excellent literary taste!"
