I'm on an utterly infuriating internet connection here. There is an 8 GB/month download limit, only 4 GB of which is for "peak hours", and when peak hours go from 8 in the morning until 1 in the morning, it's essentially a 4 GB/month connection. Once we're over the limit, which takes about 4 days of standard usage, we go back to dial-up speeds, which in practice means that pages load at or under 1 KB/sec, if they load at all. So rather than spend 5-10 minutes trying to find and load the <i>WWZ</i> review, I commented on the first post I saw. Feel free to move the original comment and delete this one if you'd prefer to keep things tidy. (I should also note that this isn't my house and I have no control over the internet account.) And back on to <i>God is Dead</i>, on further reflection there is a lot that could have been improved with it that I didn't consider at first. But I still quite liked it, and thought it's slight similarity to <i>WWZ</i> warranted it being mentioned, as <i>WWZ</i> is one of the three best books I've read as a result of your 52-in-52. Yes.

It's sort of similar to <i>World War Z</i>, but dealing instead with, as you may well have guessed, the world in the aftermath of the death of God. It's not quite as good as <i>World War Z</i> in my opinion, but still worth a read. Have you heard of a book called God is Dead?
