A God in Ruins

Danielle Crain

This book was... just a lot. It brought up some uncomfortable/problematic issues that aren't usually my jam when reading a book. It felt slightly disorganized with the timeline bouncing around and the focus on specific "thriller" style events to keep the reader engaged. I had a difficult time connecting with the main protagonist. I loved the premise of the novel, but it just wasn't tackled in the manner that I expected. It introduces something HUGE in the first three pages and then the reader hears nothing more about it until the very end. It was slightly frustrating as I felt like I was tricked into reading the book. All of that said - I read this book in just a few days - not something I typically do for a straight-up fiction novel. 

I probably should've started with some of Uris's earlier works first. 

My Ratings:

5*****I loved this book, consider it an all time favorite
4**** Thoroughly enjoyed the book and will recommend it
3*** I liked it well enough
2** Brain Candy - It was okay. Writing mediocre, will
keep/re-read if part of a series
1* didn't like/possibly not finished. (less)
