You've heard stories referred to as a "Psychological Thriller." This is "Philosophical Horror." It's well written, nicely paced, and very quirky. It reminds me of some of H. P. Lovecraft's more subtle pieces in ways that are hard to explain.

Be warned that the book has some very strong language, some disturbing imagery, and something to offend almost everyone. On the other hand, the author has a gift for saying things in a way that feels more blunt than malicious.

My biggest complaint is the quality of the printing, which seems a bit blurry or pixilated on alternate pages. It's still perfectly readable, just a bit annoying. I'm not sure if this is a problem with every copy, or just mine.

Novel is written with an ear for real speech and an accurate eye for real people. Mr Battaglia asks the age-old questions as he looks at his place in today's society. We all wish we had the answers. Book is very honest and thought provoking and I am looking forward to seeing where he goes next.

An interesting book which reflects an obvious contemplation of the nature of man's need for a god figure. Mr. Battaglia proves that he's done his reading on the subject and articulates his case well. The book shows real promise for the future, when he
will give voice to perhaps a better vehicle than Thunk. But then, what shape would anyone give to the balancer of the universe. Perhaps the image of jello is as good a vehicle
as something more subtle. Perhaps it reflects the author's sense of humor or irony. The narrative is left open for continued reflection from this dealer of "consequences". I'd
be interested to see where Mr. Battaglia leads him.
