Thoughts on religion, drugs & free will
The premise of this book piqued my interest. A drug that brings man and god together set loose on a world determined that religion is a farce? A cult, a scientist, a start up, a criminal ring, and a collection of heroes suffering from various mental fireworks? It was an interesting concept. Sadly, I didn’t enjoy this book. I did not like the narrator and main character, Lyda. Ironically,the book just felt preachy. The author clearly has a point of view and communicated it through the story. Too bad the story was lost in the condescension.
