The age-old question of good and evil.

[hornswoggle]

I recently finished reading Craig Forgrave's Devil Jazz and thoroughly enjoyed it. I could not, however, stop my brain from thinking about Ron Currie Jr's God is Dead. They are so similar, yet completely opposite. I just can't put my finger on it. They both share the same basic theme of mankind being either good or bad in the face of an apocalypse, whether it be worldy or spiritual. Has anybody read both of these titles, or at least one, and would like to give me some feedback/input?

no - but it is a universal question - perhaps you should give us more of a context then we can speak?

Thank you for the response booktin. God is Dead is based on a time when God takes human form and is killed, and the reprucussions this has on mankind and the world. Devil Jazz is about Satan inhabiting the earth under the guise of an alien. Both deal with the fundamental notion of what happens to mankind when their faith, or lack there of, is tampered with/eliminated. Both titles are satirical, of course. God is Dead is written from many different viewpoints, while Devil Jazz has a more flowing stream of narration to it, mainly bouncing back between two people's or groups of people's point of views. I'm sort of new to this whole thread conversation business, so please ask if you would like more information. I just don't know how in-depth I should go with these posts.
