Metaphoric romp

Political satire at its metaphoric best. Read it and laugh with an undercurrent of un-ease for the truth within the story line and how it resembles our current state of political affairs.

Laugh out loud funny!

The Book of Bob is one of those rare books that made me laugh out loud in public. Just describing the premise - that God (aka "Dad") has chosen to write a new blockbuster through a new prophet (Bob) - is enough to provoke giggles. It also suggests that there may be irreverent satire ahead. Knowing Paul Chasman and his work as "Carl Estrada," I was prepared. However, if you're looking for angry political rants against conservatives, go find a blog. All forms of 21st-century wackiness are fair game for Dad's mockery. This book is so funny, I forgot it had an agenda!

Butter My Biscuits, It's a Beauty of a Book

"The Book of Bob" should be subtitled "Candide Meets the Political and Religious Equivalents of the Marx Brothers' Evil Twins." It features a naif who just wants to do the right thing. And... --a picaresque confederacy of saints and crazies on one hulluva road trip --an elected leader who is hiliarously linguistically challenged. The Right Reverend Spooner has met his match. (And so has anybodywith even an advanced case of Satyriasis) --the loopiest, unlikeliest, loveliest love story since, say, Burns & Allen, or Auntie Mame and Beau, or what the hell, Gargantua et Pantagruel --a chilling story of a decent man gone crazed assassin --a happy ending! (And just as an aside, the story involves the coolest dog since Rin Tin Tin. Asta. Lassie. Scooby Doo.) Never has Christmas shopping been so easy. My Wife and I bought 20 copies. We don't have that many friends, but we may meet someone-and whoever it might be, they'll need this book. So do you. --Robert A. Clapp

I'm first

to tell the world about this wonderful book. I've not finished it yet, but it's one of those books that you can't wait to find out what happens, and when it does, you are sad that it's over. I can tell. I was talking to bob about it. He asked me if I wanted to be a carrier pigeon, but I had too many things to do right now, I told him I'd get back to him. Anyway, about the book. It's great. I laugh out loud, wake the dog, cats, husband, and go back for more. helluva deal!
