Hector Miray

This is a series that I am thoroughly enjoying. Do I wish it had a better editor? Yes. But for me, the messages are what matters in this book. I could easily hear Miray's voice in the essays; they could easily have been used as talks to young people as well as to the target audience of geeks.

While the message in and of itself wasn't new, the links to geek culture were to me. That is what will bring me back to the third volume.

If you are a geek and a person of faith (even if that faith isn't particularly strong), then I think you would enjoy the book. If you are a person of faith with a geek in your life, try reading this to understand that person's perspective better.… (altro)

This book interested me as it deals with faith and I was interested in what he would think in two of the three areas. The author being from southeastern North Carolina was the tipping point as I also like supporting local (or once local) authors.

I enjoyed the sections on science fiction and superheroes the most; I don't play video games, but could understand the basic points. The author made interesting points and gave me much to reflect on.

The only down side is that the book needed better editing. It sounded as though he were talking to young people (his intended audience), but a good editor could have smoothed out some of the choppiness and made sure that ampersands were turned into "and" in the text.

I'll continue reading the series of four books.… (altro)
