I really enjoyed reading this book. Bill keeps you engaged in the characters activites and does a great job of keeping you guessing as to what is coming next. The ending is not what you expect, but Bill does make his point with it (which is what he intended!)

My God.
I couldn't put this down. The entire time reading this novel, I pictured a movie. It was a very fast read with truly mentally deranged points of view. There are religious criticisms and descriptive psychological disturbing acts layed out in the book. In a movie, it's the shock and gorge that scares a viewer, but as a reader Aicher is able vividly create an image in your mind that you can't shake. You can't cover your eyes and say to the person next to you "I'm not lookin More...

Review of The Trouble with Being God by William F Aicher
Even though it took me awhile to read this novel, I was very excited to read it. Not only was it a book written by a former classmate of mine, but it is a Thriller which I absolutely love.
Bill (I have to call him Bill as I did in grade school!) dove right into it with a climax. His flow of words captured me from the beginning. I greatly enjoyed his descriptions as well as commitment to the back story. He let me get to kno More...

This was a super-quick read. It was definitely incredibly graphic and disturbing in places (I'm not sure I would have made it through the movie adaptation of this at all), but it was interesting. You think you figure it out halfway through, but there's a twist on the very last page that really gets your brain going. This is one I'll be thinking about for a while, for sure.

This guy is from the same little pocket of small town Wisconsin that I grew up in. And this book sounds pretty interesting.

I loved the idea of this novel, it had potential. I really feel the characters lacked depth and sometimes the conversation they carried on seemed somehow staged. Like the author wanted to say something through the story and just threw them in. People say it was graphic? I don't see that in the least... When it comes down to it I feel this novel is a watered down version of a b rate movie with bad actors and an even worse script. If you want something better read Will baer or really anything eles
