Recently one of the more popular book blogs online took the time to read The Trouble With Being God, and write up a review.  The review is up on Amazon, but you can also read it in its entirety on J. Kaye's site.

Here's a bit of what the reviewer had to say:

Although the book says it's a philosophical thriller it's a psychological thriller as well. Steven and Miles' conversations allow a philosophical debate, but the dreams, ramblings of the characters, and the killings bring the out the psycholog

Haven’t had anywhere else to use this yet, since it just came in… but thought it was worth sharing. Got a press quote today from Lise Avery, the host of “Everything Goes!! Internationally Syndicated Radio.”

Here’s what she had to say:

“The Trouble with Being God is a great summer read that keeps you glued to its pages! Now we’ll wait with breathless anticipation for the next novel from the very talented Bill Aicher.”

Thanks Lise!  I’m working on my next one!

Now that The Trouble With Being God has been out for a while and quite a few people have read it, I feel it is now okay for me to discuss an area of the book in which there have been questions.  Some of you have contacted me directly about this, and I’ve seen a few other instances out there where people are asking the question, “What happened at the end?”

Now I’m not going to go into huge amounts of detail here, since there are plenty of you who still haven’t bought a copy (wink, wink), but consi

If you’ve read TheTrouble With Being God or are at all familiar with the book, you know the book also includes footnotes for suggested listening for key parts of the story.

I’ve recently gotten a few questions and other feedback regarding these selections, and wanted to clarify one thing: the songs suggested are not the songs I was listening to while writing those sections of the book.  In fact, despite my tremendous love (or unhealthy addiction) to music, I seldom write with music on in the back

Recently I mentioned that the e-book for The Trouble With Being God is available on Scribd.com for a limited time at the low price of just $1.99 for the DRM-free PDF download version. What I failed to mention is the end date of this promotion.

Since this promotion coincides with Scribd’s launch of their e-book store, it is definitely a limited-time promo, and the $1.99 pricing is only available for one week. After May 25th, the price for the e-book is scheduled to return to the standard pricing

Alright all you cheap bastards… here’s something sure to make you happy.  For a limited time, I’m offering an e-book version of The Trouble With Being God for download over at Scribd for just $1.99.

Not only is it an awesome deal, but I’ve even opted to allow for the e-book to be in the DRM-free PDF format so you can read it pretty much wherever you want.

Just don’t go uploading it illegally all over the Internets.  If you do, I will hunt you down and checkerboard you.

In my ongoing effort to try to share all the reviews of The Trouble With Being God that keep popping up online, I have another review to share - this time from reader “Clyde’ at WeRead.com.  Here’s a bit of what he had to say:

This is an incredible novel especially for a debut. It reminds me of early Chuck Palahniuk with the tone and the unexpected twist. The story seems very simple at first, but gets complex. … As a reader, you will find yourself going back and re-reading parts just to make sure
