Have no idea what I read. Just weird and wordy. Who cares?

This is one of those novels that I'd love to have read in an English class because I could have written a couple of papers that would have sounded quite pretentious. "The Dafoe character represents the eternal fallible nature of man." blah blah blah. As just a work of fiction, it is OK, but I'm not convinced that it makes whatever point the author is trying to make. (Not that I would have let my English teacher know that.) Certainly different, so maybe worth the read.

The writing is peppy and clever and the sentences clip along but the author made choices about story that narrowed the novel’s appeal for me, namely, making God incarnate kind of a boring character, and drawing on some not very interesting Old Testament tropes for the humor. A little disappointing because the premise was appealing.

I loved the premise of this book: Yahweh appearing to an American millennial and making her his prophet. To start with I felt the author could see inside my head, with all the contractions of being a self-aware, liberally minded person of relative privilege in today's messy world.

But then it just got weirder and weirder, and lost all narrative tension.

I wanted to like it, I really wanted to like it, because the premise excited my imagination so much. Long after it got dull, I kept pushing through, hoping there'd be a twist that would provide some redemption. But that never happened, and the more I read, the lower my rating of the book became.… (mere)
