A weird mix of stories, although this is kinda sci-fi book the third story (actual sci-fi) was the hardest to read, and the reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars. This is a very unique post-apocalyptic Catholic sci-fi where history seems eerily bent on repeating itself. Miller's trilogy encompasses three separate stories loosely tied together, but able to be taken/read independently.

Darkly humorous, satirical, poignant. Not really the sort of book I usually like, but definitely one I'm glad I read!

Highly recommended!
