"Jillette has made a career as a provocateur, and it is tempting to
dismiss this book as another piece of carny shtick, but there is a
forceful intelligence at work here that demands to be taken
seriously. He has shaped his argument with care." --"Daniel
Stashower, " Washington Post Book World
"Penn Jillette is a 21st-century Lordof Misrule: big, boisterously
anarchic, funny, Rabelaisian, impossible--andunique. There
isn't--couldn't be--better not be--anybody like him." --Richard
Dawkins, bestselling author of"The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The
God Delusion"
"People who say that libertarians have no heart or atheists have no
soul need to read this book. Because Penn Jillette has a lot of
both." "--Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of "South Park "and
award-winning Broadway musical" The Book of Mormon
"There are few people in the country who question more boldly,
brashly and bravely than my friend Penn Jillette. This book is
funny, provocative and profane. But is it right? God, no!" --"Glenn
Beck"
"This planet has yielded exactly one mutual friend for Glenn Beck
and me and that friend has written a brilliant book called "God,
No!. "Penn reveals 'the big secret of magic, ' tells you why
tattoos are perfect expressions of atheism and exactly what to eat
when you know you're going to vomit later." --"Lawrence O' Donnell"
This hilarious and often jaw-dropping audio version of magician Penn Jillette's reimagining of the 10 Commandments is a delightful romp from start to finish. As a narrator, Jillette offers an inspired reading as he outlines his political and social viewpoints in a deep and raspy voice. From his personal feelings about Richard Nixon to his thoughts about organized religion, Jillette leaves no stone unturned-and he doesn't feel an ounce of shame about any of his opinions either. Unlike his silent on-stage partner, Jillette is never short on words. Listening to this larger-than-life performer rant is entertaining and pretty darn compulsive, too. Jillette proves to be as strong a writer and narrator as he is magician. A Simon & Schuster hardcover. (Aug.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
