This book felt like a filler episode.

There, I said it. Of course I enjoyed Thunderhead, but overall it just felt like a very long filler episode to me, so definitely my least favorite of the trilogy.

“If we were judged by the things we most regret, no human being would be worthy to sweep the floor.” 

How ironic, then, and how poetic, that humankind may have created the Creator out of want for one. Man creates God, who then creates man. Is that not the perfect circle of life? But then, if that turns out to be the case, who is created in whose image?
