Reviews For: We Killed God

in theory 2006-03-14 ch 1,	Wow what a piece of work. Such a huge chunk of thought, gotta break it down. The first line is fun, nice and unexpected from the title and summary. The rhyme introduced is not forced it's pulsating and steady, the words aren't sacrificed it seems and that's total poetry right there. I like the deep political current through this, how one person's essence congregates and makes up this huge mass monster that's supposed to support but usually destroys. And then I got a little lost in some of the metaphors, quite detailed but it seems almost like an inside joke, or wit or whichever. I like being confused by poetry though because then I can lend my own insane interpretation of whatever it is to what I get from it. The sheer length of this is quite impressive/intimidating. Though I love reading massive amounts it feels a little exhausted towards the end, but I honestly don't think any stanza could have been excluded without damaging the overall effect, so I aint gonna rant about that. "So the fittest will survive, the loving do not thrive" I like how you made those two sentences, so many writers use that proverbial format of "as...,so..." and it's just a little tired. But you surprised, again. But yeah, overall a really great read, nice work.

I loved the paradox of "Achieve a life of mental free fall" And then the image of "God-sized holes" that was so great. Absolutely brilliant ideas and images throughout. F'in brilliant frankly.

AntiPleasure 2005-06-08 ch 1,	You use the word "truth" a lot but the repitition is a good use. "We’ll find peace in the silent still serenity" represents the thought well and the longer it was, the more powerful. Meaningful, simple words. I do wonder what a true nihilst thinks... if I was one I wouldn't be sitting here typing this to you - you know where I'd be - in a hole, dead. "Dirty human stain", "In scorched, sterile beautiful." I think both of these are very cold and your intentions were meaningful as well. Ah, and 'god shaped' ironic word isn't it? Just makes you think of God, non existent, so the shape is like a blob undefined... with no shape. I'm blabbering now, don't mind me. Good piece of work James, I'm impressed. Jenna xoxo
asyousaid 2005-06-08 ch 1,	It's far too long to be bad: blissful!As always you keep a tremendous command of metaphor and imagery, which helps explain the epic ideas. It's mildly blasphemous ("my creation" etc) but that's always fun.Seriously, you're going from strength to strength. Sent a portfolio off to Bloodaxe yet?
Made in U.S.A. 2005-06-07 ch 1,	This is wonderfull and I love it really. I'd go into a more detailed review and go on about how you could improve as a writer or why you're so great but I'm sure you already know so I'll stop right here. keep writing :D
