I hope you like laughing...

This book can be summed up with three words: Ha ha ha. I really don't care about people being offended. Political correctness is the second most rediculous concept ever, after affirmative action. This book makes fun of everything, and rightfully so. If you think you might be offended by reading a book the hammers everything and everybody, then don't buy it. It's as simple as that. But, for the rest of the free thinkers, read on with pride. This book will have you laughing on the first page. By the time you reach page 50, your sides will hurt. This book covers a lot of ground, and makes the end of the world sound like the best thrill ride ever. If you like flying midgets, a very dimented Lucifer (more so than you would normally think), making fun of Religion, Angelic fight clubs, Jesus as a politician, God as a terrible & vengeful father figure, and protagonists that turn out to destroy the world via a self help movement, then this book is for you. It's just good fun.

Symbolic of America Today

This book is pure venom. Against modern culture. Against modern politics. Against the hypocrisy of religion. This book really does spell out the frustration people in America have with their country today. It deals in corruption of ideals, imperfect leaders making idiotic decisions, and proves how precarious a position the world is in today. It's also a fun book poking the establishment in the ribs. Irreverent, but it deserves to be. Give it a look.

80's humor is back

God, this is humor I have missed since the 1980s. You know, the type which isn't worried about being politically incorrect. Humor is simply that: humor. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It's supposed to make you laugh. This book is quite offensive but the way it handles the subject matter is hilarious. Come on, it makes the Vatican out to be a quasi-terrorist/organized criminal group. Do you think you'd ever see something like that in print? And the punches this writer delivers to government are brutal, but sadly honest with a simple-minded, easily manipulated president and less than honest political aides. Even funnier is the diet plan proscribed by the "Anti-Christ" for the obese. You'll laugh at the simplicity of it. This book is all about corruption, imperfection, and the power of the individual. Great satire. You should give it a read.

God, are you there? If so, are you laughing as hard as me?

The author is clearly angry at society. He rips on the church, politics, self-help groups, corporations, and even God! Judging by how screwed up the planet is can you blame him? This is a fun read following a guy's journey through Heaven and back. Not recommended for the fundamentalists.

Very Gilliamesque

For anyone who has seen Terry Gilliam's work, Anti-Christ: A Satirical End of Days is squarely in that vein: dark satire mocking the establishment and man's place in it. What begins as light-hearted comedy gradually darkens throughout the tale. I think the best part of this entire book is someone finally having the originality to take the Greek mythological way of thinking and transplanting it onto Christian theology. These angels, cherubs, Jesus, Satan, and God himself are portrayed as flawed, mortal, and with their own agendas surrounding an Existence which for better or worse they really want no part of save in how it can profit them. The book is clearly a rebuke of the Christian Right in this country as well as American politics/policies and the problems of man's ever increasing individuality which can only lead to isolation. It's a fun book, trust me. I might make it sound dry but the writing is top notch. You should give it a go.
