Genosha is for lovers

I hate autobiographies, especially ones about how the author was an addict and a loser and then somehow overcomes...But I do love hearing about other’s spiritual journeys, it’s my guilty pleasure (because I’m too sinful to feel guilt about the misguided things I do). And so I was disappointed with the lack of that pleasure, despite that being the book’s premise.

It’s written as if the author has written the book to preserve his history for his children, and when the spiritual aspects come into play it is 90% quoted scripture and it just feels like you’re being preached to. After that, it’s more of his personal history.

If the book was, indeed, written for his children, good. It’ll be a good memory of their father and should be interesting to future generations; why the rest of us should care, I have no idea. If the author’s goal was to tell his story and inspire others to be born again, I’m afraid it had the opposite effect. I feel I know nothing of the man Mullen REALLY is and I want to find some way to die and then die again if the alternative means reading another book of his.
