What To Think

I judged this book interesting by the cover; call me prejudgist. I was not dissappointed at all. It took about two days to get through, and that was becasue I was slowed down from rereading some of the stories to my wife. I don't think this is a great book, but it was damn entertaining, and Greg Boyd a great writer with a great imagination. Forgive me, but he is like a modern Kafka and Grimm wrapped up in one, with a better sence of humor. The collages left a lot to be desired, not adding to the content at all.I think that this would make a great movie. But obviously not a traditional film. I think of it as a DVD release, with the actually movie being the main Doppelangelganger story. Copies of the two books Jeff gets in the story would also come packaged with it. So we, the viewers could experience the same reading vs. reality (or is it?) Jeff experiences.
