Review of 'The Losing and Taking Again of the Town of Man-soul (The Holy War Made by Shaddai upon Diabolus, for the Regaining of the World)' on 'Goodreads'

Excellent premise, poor execution - and some really quaint ideas of communism. But the main problem was the execution. I've never read of more inept soldiers, nor more two-dimensional characters.

But the premise ... ooh, the premise was lovely.
