Resentment, thrill, anger, fascination, interest - all of these and many other emotions were left in my head after reading this book. At times this book makes you think about some serious questions, and at times it keeps you hooked just like a most interesting mystery. Sometimes you catch yourself thinking that it is some lunacy, but keep on reading to find out how all of this will end… wait for the ending because you can’t even guess what it will be.
I recommend to read this book if you love mysteries and are able to read between the lines. The language might seem a bit simple but the story outweighs this shortcoming.
I was given a copy of this in exchange for a review. I feel bad giving this a one star but I couldn't finish it. The language was very simple and almost read as though it was translated or that English wasn't the primary language spoken by the author. There was a lot of filler that seemed unnecessary as well. I had hopes for a high rated novel based on the other review left. This book wasn't for me.

Quotations
Finding a new truth doesn't necessarily mean losing old ones.
From our birth we look at the world through our own eyes. And from this point of view we find ourselves in the center of the universe... For that reason, very often we forget that the universe has a great multitude of centers... (show all).
Some people believe that God exists, and consider the opposite statement, God doesn't exist, to be false. But honestly, it's only because of the restrictions imposed by binary logic. And now let’s imagine that you reject th... (show all)is defective logic! Then you can accept that the notion - God exists - is true, and at the same time the opposite notion - God doesn't exist - is also true, and sincerely believe in both.
