review 1: At an office holiday dinner, a sales analyst named Harold receiving an award proclaims he is the son of God. Offended, his colleague Blake is tasked with firing Harold. Later that same evening, Harold shows up at a dinner party at Blake's house where his dog and his TV suddenly die. Pretty soon Harold attracts a small band of followers among them Blake. He leads them in a walking pilgrimage from Houston to Austin. The occasional small miracle occurs but mostly things happen as one might expect including charges of heresy by the Texan churchfolk they encounter. Set in the present of an America going through an economic and spiritual crisis and by turns poignant and funny, find out if a dude named Harold and his motley crew are the new Saviors or something else enti... morerely.
review 2: this is an interesting book for several reasons. the story focuses on blake. he is married with one kid (a teenager) and in a boring dead end job. his co-worker, harold, is someone blake hasn't taken the time to know or notice. one day blake must fire harold. later that same day at dinner, harold proclaims he is the son of god. harold then sets out to define what this means.blake is skeptical of harold's proclamation at first, but then he begins to question his own purpose in life. prompted by harold's cryptic comments, blake quits his job and begins to hang out with harold and his inner circle. the group of pilgrims begin walking to austin. this poses a number of lessons about tenacity and faith. this is a satirical look at what drives people to blindly follow questionable leaders and what drives those leaders to lead. less
