Randian sci-fi with a sense of humor

Make no mistake- the author of this book wants you to question the existence of both God and man.But he wants to enjoy the thought process, and he always keeps his sense of humor. This is a really enjoyable fast read. At times, it seemed like a Robert Crais novel was going on. And I consider that a good thing.The really nice thing about this book is that it embraces the mystery of life without crushing it with beliefs. A totally fun summer kind of read.

God is dead - Nietzsche

I have one phrase to describe this book. You'll have to decide which way you take it.A novel concept, brilliantly executed.

Hitman Kills God - Film at 11

What else can you put down in words that can't be told with a simple 5? Hitman hired to kill God. It catches you from the beginning. You laugh at the whacked humor. It takes turns you don't expect. It poses questions people don't want answered. It's more than a work of science fiction. It's a review about the nature of man and what drives him. Beliefs, philosophy, pyschology, religion...it's all there. Buy the book. It's well worth your time.

Made me laugh, made me think.

The book is almost worth buying for the premise alone: a hitman is hired to take out God. The idea is an intriguing one (how do you kill a target you can't find?) and allows for some really interesting philosphical questions-- like, does the Big Guy deserve to get wacked or not? The book is written in the style of a Sam Spade novel, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the narrator's wise-cracks. Any book that can make me both laugh and think is a winner.

God isn't dead--yet.

When the World's Greatest Hit Man (real assassin of Kennedy, King and others) is diagnosed with cancer, a mysterious stranger makes him an offer he can't refuse; his cancer will be cured if he agrees to the Ultimate Contract--assassinate the Supreme Being. He's aided on his quest by a beautiful witch and a 14-year-old telepathic prostitute. Koman ingeniously explores human perception of God, religion and death as his hero tries to determine _how_ to fulfill his contract, and discovers that little of what we believe is what it seems
