More Reviews of The Trouble With Being God

Posted by William under book

Over the last few weeks several more reviews of The Trouble With Being God have been popping up across the Internet, both from readers and from professional publications. Here are a few of the highlights:

From Horror Bound Online Magazine:

The juxtaposition of Steven and one of the victims as dramatic foils is very interesting. They are both emotionally involved with Karen, and one could say that they are both preaching, albeit about very different things.

Overall, it was an interesting story. If the main characters had been more likeable, the ending would have had more impact. The killer twist ending was very good, as was the red herring. This is definitely a book to read on a rainy day and an author to watch out for in the coming years.

From Flames Rising:

Dubbed a “philosophical thriller,” The Trouble With Being God delves into heady themes while we watch Steven’s struggle with one question, “Did he do it? Did he really commit those murders?”

…

The best written parts of this story were the descriptions of the murders. Poetic and languid, Aicher has a flair for describing the things that lurk in the dark. The weakest parts of this story happened toward the end; I don’t want to give anything away, but I felt that it was not an appropriate ending for this sort of a novel. Give me justice, give me conflict, but don’t give me open questions.

From Readers:

Aicher’s novel is very well-crafted and extremely well-written. The soundtrack aspect of it also added a great bit of extra insight and was a feature I particularly enjoyed. The book is indeed a thriller, and held my interest to the very last page.

[William] dove right into it with a climax. His flow of words captured me from the beginning. I greatly enjoyed his descriptions as well as commitment to the back story. He let me get to know the characters personality along with their mannerisms. Overall I thought the character development was great, but for some reason I had a hard time with Karen. Maybe I just did not like her.  Either way, I felt like I knew them personally, which is something that is very important to readers!

This story is full of suspense & murder. It touches on a serial killer. Follow along in the day to day life of Steven Cavelle, a local news reporter journalist as he tries to report the news from his first hand view.
