Top books to read are not always easy to find. Through pure popularity there are a lot of books that seem to be top books but are they really? Why? If a book becomes very popular through many sales this, in my opinion, does not necessarily mean it is one of the top books to read.
The secret to a lot of these books is simply great marketing. What actually makes a book one of the top books to read?
Some people might like Westerns, and consider this genre the best, most people do not. Likes and dislikes are purely subjective.
There are many genre specific stories people love like fantasy, action, romance, adventure, mystery, philosophy, spirituality, etc. I think that most people enjoy straightforward linear story telling, when others like none linear, poetic, or symbolic genres. To love or not love any particular book there are obviously lots of different reasons.
The great thing about Creator is that it almost has all of the above elements, whether the reader is aware of this or not, and that is what makes it one of the top books to read for me. Than again why I like a book will be different to why you like a book, so to put it in a simple way: Creator is worth reading purely for the entertainment value, it is superbly written.
The story in a nut-shell:
In the days of yore when the Christian God sends his only son to save the wretched human race, the Olympian spirits send a saviour of their own. Unlike Jesus, the pagan son of gods was not without sin. He would not ignore temptations, or desire.
So Daedalus Rufus, In his quest to ease the torment of a secret curse, becomes a mortal god to the people, and he ends up creating a heaven on earth. He turns misery into bliss, and doldrums into merriment and games, he has the power to wield miracles.
Although that is the linear story in a nutshell, there is way more to discover hidden between the lines: the symbolic, the profound elements.
Creator is one of the top books to read because it is masterfully written like a Charles Dickens novel, but is fast-paced. Creator combines ancient Rome with modern quantum concepts and philosophies, juxtaposes old with the new. This really is an original book, taking place in our bloodiest history, that is at the same time a modern myth.
Creator is really diverse on so many levels. My tip: give it a try, and it might become one of your top books to read.
