The Book of Sand

My first thought going into this story just from judging the title was that this story would have religious symbolism tied into the theme somehow. So far Jorge's has been consistent by communicating underlying religious issues as well as layered secrets only found in mysterious brain like seams. Jorge's held up his consistency by incorporating a bible salesman for a religious reminder and a labyrinth obstacle. These themes continue to show up throughout the book and are starting to get a little old quite frankly. The stories with new themes are becoming more intriguing due to their fresh underlying objective. This leaves me to question how much of a genius Jorge was. I think that Jorge's was so smart that he purposely implemented new themes in between repeating morals to highlight the spirits of the new stories. If Jorge's intended this, well than my goodness what a smart man. But honestly the next time I throw up will not be from alcohol but from the next Jorge labyrinth religious themed story.
