The story takes the form of a diary written by Mahershalalhashbaz (or Baz for short). He is born in a world where the fall of man never happened, Adam and Eve passed God's test and as such they and their decendents were blessed with eternal life and live in Eden, a paradise that stretches across the Earth. God is also known to them in person, he is not a matter of faith, but of reality.
Already I was hooked on the idea, what would such a world be like? But Baz discovers a way to cross into our world and that is what concerns the story. It is wonderfully written, the culture shock for Baz is immense. His simple observations strike to the core of some of the absurd and terrible aspects to our lives.
He meets Kirsty, a young woman who helps him. She is a staunch atheist and he of course is a believer, he has met God in person.
It's a great story from start to finish. My only mild complaint was the ending felt a little abrupt, but that didn't mar my enjoyment.
I highly recommend this book. Read it now :-)
