About this audiobook
All is not boding well for Father Julius . . .
A street preacher decked out in denim robes and running shoes, Julius is a source of inspiration for a community that knows nothing of his scandalous origins.
But when a nearby mental hospital releases its patients to run amok in his neighborhood, his trusted if bedraggled flock turns expectantly to Julius to find out what's going on. Amid the descending chaos, Julius encounters a hospital escapee who babbles prophecies of doom, and the growing palpable sense of impending danger intensifies . . . as does the feeling that everyone may be relying on a street preacher just a little too much.
Still, Julius decides he must confront the forces that threaten his congregation-including the peculiar followers of a religious cult, the mysterious men and women dressed all in red seen fleetingly amid the bedlam, and an enigmatic smoking figure who seems to know what's going to happen just before it does.
In the end, The Revisionaries is a wildly imaginative, masterfully rendered, and suspenseful tale that conjures the bold outlandishness of Thomas Pynchon, Margaret Atwood, and Alan Moore-while being unlike anything that's come before.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Excruciatingly pointless book with five dollar words crammed into every available space. Not to mention the repetition, repetition, repetition, every few pages. The plot is hard to even call a plot. Even saying the word storyline is misleading because it is a frequently disjointed thing that jumps between times, perspectives, dreams, reality, other realities, etc. Seems like someone tried to write down a dream they had, and it didn't make sense after they woke up. If you are looking for any kind of understanding to the craziness at the end, you will not find it. Very disappointing.
