This novel is short, action packed and full of adventure, fantastic humour, wit and meaning. Daniel is approached in the night by three angels. The angels inform him that he is The Chosen One to rid the world of evil in many dimensions. He does not really believe that he is the man for the job, being a 73 year old pensioner who has, in all honestly had sharper reflexes and been in better shape.
The angels are not quite sure that Daniel really should be The Chosen One either, but it seems that he is definitely the one for the job. Daniel agrees to take on the task on the condition that he is back for his grandson’s birthday.
The voices of the angels travel in Daniel’s mind to various dimensions where they meet characters such as Slab the brick toilet, a janitor with supernatural powers, various characters in suburban yards, cemeteries, casinos and sitting in trance like states at computer screens in a black and white world which Daniel attempts to bring colour to. Nothing is what it seems.
Daniel is armed only with a baseball bat and a banana, with which he must move in and out of many different dimensions and defend himself and the world at large against evil. He encounters devil’s assistants and finally Satan himself.
The plot is interesting, fun and has a real message for humanity. It is short enough to read it one afternoon. I highly recommend this book.

The surreal world in the Language Barrier left me speechless, throwing me into thinking about humanity, evil, and the various dimensions of our existence as a species. Written with a dose of humor, the author takes us to a different world, where nothing is what it seems. I recommend the book to anyone willing to delve into the unknown, and look outside the box of their perception.
