My rating: ★★★★★

What if God got a C- in Universe Building 101?

"Each universe is created by a god, of course, as is required for such things. One of the inconvenient truths is: not all gods are created equal. ... Gods are pretty much like everyone else. They have their own share of overachievers and underachievers, motivated and unmotivated, and talented and not so talented, which explains why some of the universes out there are not really up to professional standards."

Guys this book... I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it! When Steve LeBel approached me with The Universe Builders I knew I just HAD to read it! Just reading the Blurb intrigued me SO much! The idea sounded very original and refreshing, and let me just say, the book itself did not disappoint!
