Book review: Ohmigod! By Aaron Asadi

My review:

Atheistic Nuance about Religion and Spirituality

3.5 stars

While biblically inaccurate to the end times, it’s an interesting concept. Note: I’m well aware this isn’t a spin on Revelation, my favorite book in the Bible, but a curiosity stemming from the Old Testament in present day. That being said, I think Sam is utterly fascinating, and I loved the breaks between heavy news stories to “Did I put this chest of drawers together right?” His narration was quite refreshing, although the self-hatred did grow old more toward the end. I wish we got to see more growth in that area.

I do think we missed out on having biblically accurate angels. That would have been interesting to see.

Also, it’s absolute hubris to think a paradox would kill God. But I guess that coincides with the goofiness of this book’s premise.

All in all, it’s an interesting book to read, and definitely gives the reader a lot to chew on!

Summary:

It’s Tuesday and god has come back to earth. This all seems very well and good but Sam Dalton could really do without the anxiety – there are a lot of jobs to do and his garden is finally being sorted.

As god makes his presence felt, sending the world and Sam’s mum into a panic, life begins to do the one thing our homebody hero really doesn’t like: change.
​
With the media, governments, and the local townspeople forced to adapt to the return of biblical shock and awe, is Sam able to survive the peril and keep his utter sham of a life together?
