I enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first, once everything starts to heat up. Some of the plot points didn't really seem to flow very well though, and I felt a few of the ideas were disjointed. The characters were good, I liked the conversation with Don Reba. I thought the world was fleshed out as well. It would have been cool to get more detail there but I get it not being as important after he's been there for 5 years. The ending was also slightly unsatisfying.

Страхотна книга!!! Философски размисли за съществуващата йерархия във всяко едно обществото, а също и нейната комплексност и значимост, преплетени с научно фантастични елементи - просто жестоко! А пък и сравнително лека за четене. Страниците летят пъргаво, а същевременно за 250 страници историята успява да премине през няколко катаклизма. Докато я четох, по някога ме караше да не мога да заспя 20-30 минути заради най-различни луди размисли! Оказва се наистина трудно да бъдеш бог, пък било то само във въображението си! :)
