I received this book from one of the authors for an honest review.

Adam Reemi has endured so much in his life. He grew up in Lebanon as civil war broke out. He and his parents emigrated to the United States to escape the atrocities. His mother died and her death devastated Adam and his father. Adam’s father didn’t know how to cope. Adam’s life at home was difficult. As an adult, Adam became a professor. His wife wants to have a family, a home, and a planned future. Adam was struggling. He had no desire to do his job and he had no idea how to communicate with his wife. His best friend, Muntz, shows him an idea he has been working on. This inspires Adam and wonders if he and Muntz could use it to answer whether a man is the product of evolution or created by an intelligent designer. How will Adam accomplish this? How does Einstein come into this quest? I’m not going to give it away…read the book!

Is an intelligent designer possible? Dana Dargos and Said Al Bizri combine philosophy, religion, and science fiction into this unique, imaginative story. It is ambitious to blend genres and these two authors create an impressive work. They do not shy away from the complexities of the topics and their explanations are detailed and thorough. The main character, Adam, is relatable and at times can be frustrating. He goes from excited to defeated quickly and is volatile. Very realistic! For the non-scientific mind, there are times when the discussion of scientific information can seem overwhelming. Don’t let this stop you from continuing the book. The ending is what you hope for and more. The best part of this book? When you finish the book you will find yourself sitting and absorbing it all. What do you believe? Evolution or intelligent designer?

My Rating: 🌻🌻🌻🌻/5

This book would be an excellent one to get for reading and discussion with your middle schooler (or older).
