This is, as you might have guessed, a story about Sander Grant, who is no ordinary man. He is a giant from a long line of giant men. And it looks as if the line started in biblical times with the union of angels with mortal women. Sander and his father can communicate with the deceased grandfather, who is buried at the ranch. Sander discovers the family's history and God is not to pleased about it - God does not like the giants very much. And so he lashes out (God that is).....but here I have to stop, don't want to spoil anything. It is not a fairy tale, but rather reads like a very good mystery novel. And it is not some religious clap trap, even though God and various churches and religions feature heavily - but there is no praying, no worshipping - none of that, God is just this very angry person the Grants have to deal with. And that they do, through Sander, in a fascinating way. The book is huge fun to read, the story quite exciting to discover. I recommend this strange little novel very much.… (mehr)
