review 1: A smoothly written, intriguingly different fable, of faiths and science and fate and free-will and more, Pedro Barrento’s The Prince and the Singularity is singularly absorbing, odd and fun. And thought-provoking. And unobtrusively irreverent. And magical. And cool...A hall filled with hapless gods playing cards, a man learning to walk on water, a Magdalene so different and so vaguely familiar, a prince with a mission... Behind it all are lessons and reminders of how we twist the truths of faith to suit the falsehoods of our own concerns. The fable stretches from the infinite past to the present, then slips through time, as a man untouched by time looks for meaning, and more. But perhaps “Life... just is.”There are hints of many familiar faiths, and even of fairytale... more and history. There’s a creation myth with wheels within wheels. And there’s that curious hint that what “just is” just might be more. As timelines twist, doors open and close, and always there’s the prince, master or man until... Well, just until.It’s different. It’s rich. It’s intriguing. And it’s a truly absorbing read.Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.
review 2: Kinda difficult to stop reading...This book starts with several different stories that seem to run parallel to each other and make the reader wonder if they'll ever connect in some way. They eventually do and that's when things start to get interesting. To make it even more interesting,the whole thing is wrapped in a metafiction where the author himself interacts with the plot. If you're into auhtors like Murakami or books like "Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore" then this book's for you. less
