I didn't think I would be a fan of the fantasy genre, but I read The Lost Book of Chaos: How to Divide the World on the recommendation of others and found it to be fantastic!  It is a fascinating story on multiple levels. The basic story line is full of adventure and plot surprises, with major conflicts arising continually. The book was hard to put down, and I kept thinking about the story and its implications whenever I couldn't read.But it wasn't just the fantasy that was so compelling.  The author infused the fantasy with religions, mythology, magic, and science.  He also included many characters from history to weave his story, and presented alternate explanations of their behavior, thereby giving readers an alternate perspective to ponder.  Using Judas Iscariot as the main character was inspired.Overall, this is an inventive, exciting and thought-provoking epic novel.  I highly recommend it!
