I'm willing to admit that when it comes to books and movies I sometimes "don't get it". I "got it" in this one, but I don't really understand what all the controversy was about. Everyone acted like it was some big deal with all the anti-religion, but I didn't really see that in here at all. It was a "just okay" book. I have the other two to read one day, but they are going down the list a bit. While parts of the book were very fast paced and fun, some of it was just "eh".
