the premise of this book was intriguing to begin with and once i settled into reading, i ate it up. you survive a boat disaster in a raft with others and 3 days later come across another survivor. you say thank god we found you and he replies i am god. the only way you survive is if everyone believes in him, do you believe?

the structure is back and forth btwn land and sea, past and present. it works really well without confusion. the writing is simple and easy to follow, it does lead you to a lot of surprises and chilling responses. 

i will say, depending on your relationship with your beliefs, the way you view this book may vary widely. i am not a religious person by any means, though i consider myself spiritual. i took the book as could be any god higher being, not christian. the mysterious and suspense really pulled me in, i wanted to know the what was real. the book is not exactly what you think it is and makes you wonder what faith could be for you. it'll end up in a different place than where it started. 

i left the book thinking wow. wow. thoroughly enjoyed!
