This book is written with the kind of thoroughness that one had grown to expect from Reza Aslan. It's a historical take on the mythological folklore around the enigmatic entity of God, charting the origin and various evolutions that it underwent. While the book primarily focuses on Abrahamic religions, it draws support and references from all religions of the world. Having said all that, I didn't particularly enjoy this book so much as I feel like my expectations from this book were very different to what it had to offer.
It is still a very solid read for anyone who wishes to know more about the origin of the modern religions as we know it.
