"Well the first few chapters had me hooked. And a coincidence of my own is like the part in this book where the protagonist has to go to Peru on a jet with little time to prepare. My nephew wanted me to travel to London. We settled on Amsterdam 🇳🇱. The story is intriguing." — 12 hours, 39 min ago

“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
