They called me God
5-star review by author Grant Leishman
I wasn’t aware They Called Me God was a graphic novel until after I’d selected it. I had never read one until now, and I am so glad I did. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on. Author Ronald Simonar has compiled an excellent story with a fascinating premise to explain the existence of a supernatural being called God throughout human history. That in itself would be a teasing plot for a novel, but what makes it exceptional is the addition of the pictures to accompany the text. As an avid reader, I found the images of exceptional quality, giving the story the perfect lift and accompaniment. I particularly appreciated the explanation for the development of so many different religions and dogmas, as different cultures in different times reacted to interaction with him. I chuckled at the idea that we are now worshipping the religion of science and that the Hadron Collider is humanity’s altar of worship to its God. The story is fun, the action is plentiful, and the visual aspects of the story are beautiful. This certainly will not be the last graphic novel I read. I love it when I stumble across a new way to enjoy my passion for literature. Perhaps I should consider trying audiobooks next. This was a fun and thoughtful read that I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
