This book rocks. I found out about it by chance (I was playing the author's online game and used up my daily click allowance XD), but I'm glad I did. It's a twist on life, taking the idea of existance being a computer game and giving you a reality that is both strange and familiar, full of common mythology, hidden jokes, and tricks to keep you guessing. As the great comedian once said, "Either leave 'em laughing... or leave 'em wondering what the hell you meant." RB did both, and you can bet I'll be thinking about it and rereading Revelations often. It's fun, but thought-provoking, and it's been a long time since I've seen a new work pull that off so well.
