Anyway, I'm not trying to convert you to loving the book or anything, I was just intrigued by your reaction... sorry for the long comment!
Oh, I liked the book. I liked it because it made me think, and there's so much here to turn over and over and analyse. I'm not disappointed because I think it's badly written or anything... it just didn't press my buttons, and I have such a nice array of religious angst-buttons right here to be pressed!
