I have mixed feelings about this novella. I think the author is great at his craft. The writing is quick and witty, the pacing is great, and the structure and plot worked well. Unfortunately for me this exercise in theology and philosophy fell flat. There were some points I found well-aimed and quite clever, but overall outcome felt to me like talking to an atheist who was never religious. Like yes the points are good, but it's not nearly as brilliant and groundbreaking as you think. Overall it's okay, and I had a good time reading it, but it was frustrating at times and probably won't stay with me fore more than a week.
