While I was reading this book (especially the first part), I had the image of Alexander Skarsgard running wild and free in the jungle wearing just a small loincloth posing as Tarzan. This helped me to get into the book's philosophy, but it really did not help me to relate with the characters. 
 I had a few issues with the book. Let me see: 
 1. Zack's parents. I think I really have a problem with the missionaries in general. I strongly believe that church people should leave the tribes in Amazon or in Africa or wherever alone. This mentality "we come in peace to save you" is the worst for the natives since they already have their customs, their way of life and death, their rules. Why some people are trying to change them, I have no clue... 
 Especially Zack's parents. How and why on earth they dragged a seven years old boy in Amazon and then they went and die. How irresponsible was that? Huge mistake. They decided about the life of an innocent child and then they left him alone. I can totally understand Zack's feelings, how betrayed he feels and why he only believes in himself and trusts his tride. At least, they helped him survive. 
 2. Zack's obsession with sex and his constant craving for Moira. Most of the times, he is behaving like he is in puberty. How much sex this guy can have every day? 
 3. The sex scenes. Ok, some of them made my eyes roll. Moira was coming constantly. Some times I swear, it felt like Zack was just looking at her and she had a orgasm. Volcano on fire. 
 4. The time frame in which Zack adapted to the advanced world. In only a few weeks he adjusted perfectly to the sexual practice and the sexual slang of the modern world. Can you really become an expert on oral sex and anal sex and dirty talking by watching videos on YouTube? All teenager boys must be experts then. 
 Anyway, the above are just a few things that stand out and have made an impression to me. 
 Overall it was a nice read, entertaining, even exciting at times. I was not bored, not even for a second when I was reading it. 
 But if somehow I had definitely to choose whether I could read the book again or watch the movie with Skarsgard running almost naked on the big screen, I am absolutely sure I would choose The God from Sweden.
