While I am one who was less than impressed with the writing style, that's more of a personal preference than a real critique. Rob Bell hops around, not really landing on complete sentences all the time, though I imagine that's for the "this is how my mind works" feel. However, that's not my real complaint about this book.
As with his other book, "Sex God," Bell's "theology" is shallow -- soft on basing anything on Scripture and using more of a "touchy-feely Jesus" than anything else. He's certainly a speaker/writer who knows how to craft words, but that just means that readers must read carefully so that they won't fall for well-said stupidity, or worse yet, error.
