Never has anyone so eloquently discussed his passion for the simple pleasures and joys of the everyday as magic man Penn Jillette does in this hilarious and thought-provoking book about atheism and the preposterousness of, well, just about everything. Jillette's narration is entertaining from the get-go: he's engaged, active, and witty, commanding listener attention in a way few performers can. His passion for the subject is more than evident, and Jillette shows he is much more than just a magician or a comedian. He's that rare breed of entertainer who can express himself in a straightforward and honest manner without taking himself too seriously. Jillette's vigor is contagious and hearing him will make listeners think that the world is not such a bad place after all. A Blue Rider hardcover. (Dec.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
