Search - Children of God

I was really looking forward to reading this book and I was NOT disappointed. This is the follow up to her earlier book, “The Sparrow.� While I sometimes got frustrated with that book I never did with this book. It goes more deeply into the characters, both human and “alien�. The culture is much more prevalent that in the first book as well. I am very pleased with this book.

Great follow-up to The Sparrow.

An imaginative, quirkily humorous novel featuring a priest named Emilio Sandoz, whose quest to demystify God's providence leads him to question the possibility of faith.

This is a satisfying sequel to *The Sparrow,* with disabilities, politics, anthropology, revolution, art and music, technology, war, parenthood, faith, and even the Mafia thrown in -- oh, and a lot of it on another planet. A couple of characters do unlooked-for things, but so do real people. Well done.

I didn't finish this. I really liked The Sparrow, but found this sequel less interesting. It focused more on the aliens from the Sparrow, and I couldn't really bring myself to care about them.

It was a pretty good read overall and definitely provided a nice level of closure to the previous book although I think I enjoyed the first one better.
