Glover has taken several loosely connected concepts that may seem cliche when standing alone, and managed to tie them all together into a novel package that delights with the quality of nuance and form. The prose is subtle, but powerful; themes such as alliteration and flow of words are used effectively to convey deeper meaning and enhance symbolism, and the choice of words is sometimes frantic, sometimes calculated, but always skillful. The book is wet with symbolism, and subtle details drip from every page and catch the reader's eye and imagination. For anyone with an appreciation of world religions (Christianity certainly included), this book should prove an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.
