The Watchers

This is a book by Mark Andrew Olsen. Honestly, I picked it up because I liked the title, figured it would be some sort of 1984ish science fiction book. I was wrong.

The first few chapters were not captivating or anything, but they were ok. After about ten, I realized that Christianity was going to play a large part in this book, and I wondered if the author would be cool about it, in a DaVinci Code kind of way, or not-so-cool about it in a crazy bible thumper kind of way. It soon became evident the latter was the case. Even so, I persevered through 23 chapters and 145 of 411 pages.

But really, this book is lame. If there is an original thought in it, I didn't find it, except maybe the fact that heaven is really just an endless supply of LSD, or so the descriptions have lead me to believe.

So, if you are an east texas baptist, this is the book for you. Otherwise, don't bother.
