Book Review of City of God

City of God
Paul-RLT avatar reviewed on + 176 more book reviews


Difficult reading with stream of consciousness writing at times and late identification of characters. The novel deals with all the big ideas - the universe, physics, God, religion, evil (especially the holocaust).
While some might consider this book as "brilliant", I believe many others would find it confusing and muddled. I would suggest reading a synopsis BEFORE tackling the text.
