Reviews

Irreverent. . . . Plotz's hilarious exegeses will have you laughing out loud. Who knew the Bible was such a riot? -- Time Out New York A bloody good book. . . . Very funny. . . . Priceless for those of all traditions who see value in posing unanswerable questions to each other, and to God himself. -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune Highly entertaining. -- The Jerusalem Post Like the Bible itself, Good Book contains multitudes--it is by turns thought-provoking, funny, enlightening and moving. In short, David Plotz's book easily lives up to its name. Trust me, Thou shalt enjoy. -- A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically Thanks to David Plotz's amazing book, I will never have to read The Bible. When can he do this for Madame Bovary? -- Andy Borowitz, author of The Borowitz Report Plotz is a genius writer. He can mine Genesis for new insights--and play the book of Job for laughs. He's the perfect companion for a romp through the Bible: charmingly confessional, a deeply penetrating reader, and at complete ease relating ancient (often obscure) narratives to our modern condition. -- Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World
