Comment
Add a CommentVery lecture-y. The characters are very thinly drawn, nearly cliched, and the plot functions as an excuse to discuss philosophy. Yet it works as an entertaining introduction to the debate over the existence of God.
In this is a witty, intelligent novel, a bestselling atheist psychologist falls for a Jewish game-theory expert but is haunted by memories of two people who sparked his interest in religion. An exploration of the varieties of religious experience, the book isn't afraid of the big issues, such as faith versus reason. The Globe's review
