Status Updates From The Book of Judges: A Novel...

All I can say is I am at a loss for words. Usually by this point of the book I have more of an understanding of what is going and yet still I have no idea how this is finally ending and I have more questions than when I first started the book.

Shit is getting crazy, I am still a little confused and concerned but I understand a little bit better now what’s going on. Glad to say I was right about my theory on “ Agent Kwan “. I am again deeply nervous for what comes next and I have no idea if the gang will be able to stop the judge from being murdered.

How did we get here???? You know up until this point I was following along ok, but now I’m more confused than ever. I have no idea any of this is going to connect and more importantly I don’t understand the motive. I hope things clear up soon.

Sammi, I don’t think Agent Kwan is actually an agent. I have a sneaking suspicion he is not to be trusted. I will say though that it’s refreshing to “Agent Kwan” get one up on Billy Ray. I just hope going forward no one else dies. I can’t handle any more unexpected deaths.

So like I deeply hate the Reverend and Billy Ray and I hope they both for their crimes. Like WTF there is no way you can justify your actions at this point. Which brings me to another point; what the hell is Chee-Wa’s motive for doing all of this? Like I understand why you have beef with your cousin but how does it connect to this current situation?

This book is stressing me out in a good way. I can’t believe that just happened, now Mark and Sammi are chloroformed and WTF!!! They don’t have time for this, and I have no idea how they will escape. Sidenote the “Reverend” is extremely delusional if he thinks he is making it past the pearly gates of heaven. I am deeply concerned going into the next chapters.

WTF just happened!! So many things are clicking together now and yet I am still shocked at what just happened in the last chapter. I can’t believe they killed Zhou. I have no idea what is going to happen next but I am excited and anxious.

The more I learn about the judges and how think and rule on profound human rights issues the more fascinated I become. I have no idea in which direction this book will go but I am definitely enjoying the ride.

It’s like every time they discover something new and important their life becomes more endangered. I am glad that Josh talked to Mark and removed the tracker from his car because that was definitely a close one.

So the plot is thickening and I must say I am enjoying the biblical context in this book as well. I think it pairs really well with the historical narrative too. I’m intrigued to see how Sammi and Josh figure out what’s going on and I wonder if they will discuss the dreams they have. I also hope that they are able to evade Billy Ray without being harmed.

I will say I like the pacing of this book so far, but I would definitely like to see more of the backstory of the main characters. I do fear though that something bad may happen within the next few chapters.

Josh if were you I would contact a lawyer and hire a bodyguard; that was a close one dude. Personally I would like to know more about the backstory for the “Reverend” and Billy Ray, like what is their deal and what is on that laptop worth killing over.

So far we are off to an interesting start. I like the different POV’s I just wish I could see a table of contents so I can know when the pov is changing it’s a little disorienting but nevertheless I am intrigued.
