I have heard of this book a long time ago but never had the chance (or time) to read it until now. Wow, all I can say is it's a very weird book (but I'm glad I read it). The title means God's logic and human's magic. It's definitely a psychological thriller and there is a plot twist in the end. I give this book a 3 star rating because I think the premise is just too impossible. As you reach the end of the book, you'll understand how ridiculous this is. Nishisawa Yasuhiko sensei has put forward a really interesting psychological problem in this book. If the objective truth differs from what the masses believe, what will happen? If the objective truth points to the direction that God does not exist but a whole nation insists there is a God watching them from above, what will happen. This book is very interesting and perhaps more a philosophical fantasy than a murder mystery. It's worth reading though whether you like it or not depends on whether you can accept the logic in this book.
