Buchtipps | Englische Bücher
Are you fed up with the old religions of this world? Then this is the right book for you.
Jason Bock is really bored by Catholicism so he and his best friend Shin are thinking of a new religion. They invent the CTG, the Church of the Ten-legged God, also called the Chutengodians. The Chutengodians are worshippers of the water tower. They think water is the most needed element in the world and because of this the water tower has to be God.
At first the Chutengodians are a group of two people and don’t really know what the new religion is going to be in the future. But after some days there are more and more Chutengodians and they decide to have a Midnight mass on Tuesday (their Sabbath). Henry, one of the followers of the CTG, has the idea to hold the mass on the top of their god. And so one week later they all climb up the water tower, at first everything is well and they have a lot of fun but then something happens that nobody would have thought of.
I give the book “Godless” by Pete Hautman three stars, because in the beginning it was too boring for me, but in the middle of the book it got really thrilling.
