I really liked the world building, and the social commentary around warnings of mutual annihilation if nuclear war came to pass. But the religious imagery and metaphors and constant attempt to put religion in a good light got to me. Almost every character or event had a parallel in the bible and not just in a literary sense, almost as if this was a retelling in a radioactive hellscape instead.
