Review of 'No Plain Rebel' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The title gets funnier after you read the book.
I fucking loved this. This book is so meaningful to me. And my heart cheers in agreement. The layers of the story, the artistic worldbuilding and he deepness of the thoughts, and added with the message that goes along with it all? I feel so grateful.
Are there inconsistencies in the story? Yes.
Does it mess up at times? Yes.
Is the Christian undertone weird? Yes.

I think it is an interesting abstract way to reflect on your own religion if you are christian yourself, and if you are not christian, giving you a funny insight. Since it picks up the Christmas theme it makes also sense to have he focus on it.)

It's heavily quotable, something new and interesting and a great book to open discussions with. This is not everyons favourite. It has its crazy flaws, but for what it attempts to do, it does amazing. It has crazy stuff packed inside, with crazy consequences that have not been thought of a lot. And I appreciate to find new ideas and inspiration in it.
