 Morrow pounds home the irony, sparing the sensibilities of neither Christian, Jew, nor Atheist. He obviously had a lot of fun playing with the implications of God dying, but had only a hint or two of incisive hilarity (view spoiler)[ The substance and context of the Schopenhaur versus Kant debate amidst crew anomie was fabulous, I must admit. Laugh-out-loud funny and witty. Unfortunately it took a lot of build-up to get there, and it was short-lived. (hide spoiler)]. The plot itself wasn't particularly humorous or interesting, and the story really seemed to be strung together for the brief jibes Morrow could concoct from his inventive premise. I really was hoping for a dazzling finale where irony, humor, and plot would be brought together, but the ending fizzled. 
 To the extent the book was supposed to advance a clear-headed rationalism, I suppose it was a success. It wasn't a particularly good novel, however. 
 Reminds me of: (view spoiler)[ The Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey (hide spoiler)]
