Glenn B. reviewed blasphemous and brilliant on
Helpful Score: 3
Morrow's conceit is daring enough: God dies and his 2-mile-long body must be towed to the Arctic so (it is hoped) some cells of the Divine Mind may be preserved by cold.
If this offends you already ... you might want to read this anyway. :) Apparently many devout readers have found it a hoot.
I dock it a star only because there is something exhausting about the book. I haven't figured out quite what this is. Also, I feel as though Morrow dilutes the savagery a bit much in the interest of an almost-standard-feeling happy ending. But maybe this was him eluding my _every_ preconception. I don't know.
