This review is from: Bullfish: A Novel (Paperback)

Bullfish is imaginative but very badly written and so poorly edited it is impossible to read without
cursing the cut-rate publisher. The very least the author could have done is re-read his work a few more times before
turning it over to the publishing house.

Bullfish is excellent, but be warned your immortal soul might hang in the balance if you enjoy this book too much.

I will admit that I loved reading this book. The moment you think it couldn't possible get any more blasphemous Mr. Covington drops another bomb. BOM! Oh look is that Jeuses wearing a pair of Nikes?

This book is fast paced and hurdles you though a masterly connected series of historical and biblical events. I don't want to say too much about the plot, as much of it is a journey through a very creative mind that will make you wonder how on earth did he think of it.

If you have a good sense of humor and are willing to go with what is being said, without taking offense, buy this book.

Great Job Mark Covington I really enjoyed this, two thumbs up
