This book is absolutely awful. The characters are awful, the writing is awful, the premise and plot are awful, the politics are awful, the message is awful. The writers kind of hurry up to convert the non-Christian protagonists into Christians, which process is silly and reminded me of reading those Chick tracts people used to give out on the street. People fall in love and stuff, awkwardly. The United Nations and Catholic Church come in for some bashing...like in those Chick tracts! All that said, five stars. I loved it and you will too. It makes you laugh and feel good about yourself. The second one is even better. Now please, somebody request it!
