The God Killers by David Simpson

Picture      Here's a book I never imagined reading and and growing weary with.  It exhausted me to no end- because it was NON-STOP ACTION!  The characters were constantly on the run, because who can escape the eyes of God?

     Okay, the book is about an evil entity who sits at the precipice of death and awaits you.  It determines whether your edible enough to consume, thus destroying your soul or chucking you to the fiery keep, where phantoms of all sorts will torment you (Still destroying your soul but ensnaring you for an eternity of misery).  This thing calls itself God.

     I really liked the concept; the idea was good, but it got boring after a while and I just finished to be finished with it.  I wasn't thrilled but I didn't walk away with something cool either.!

     The writing style was a bit off- what I mean is, there wasn't any true flow and then the worst part- no one really died.  Or if they died, they didn't stay dead!  The characters were dull and there wasn't any maturing during the situation.  They were just there.  It took me a while to finish it; about two weeks and I don't like books that bore me to the extent that I sigh when I try to get back into it.  That's exactly what happened when I tried to jump back into The God Killers.  I was excited when I finally finished.

     Lastly, the editing was poor.  Nothing says 'amateur' more than a poorly edited book.  I don't know if he edited it himself or if someone without proper skills did it for him, but I was not happy.  Cool Concept, Poor Execution.
