Dangerously hilarious and outrageous novel,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Money is love (Hardcover)
The gods--all of them!--have formed the third congress for the evaluation of sin because they don't understand the flap about money. Why is everyone so interested in it? WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT???
To answer this, they "take" two people and watch them interact. At first it's just supposed to be the two interacting with each other, but pretty soon the gods get into the picture, too. Zeus, acting the part of a horny municipal court judge, dodges Hera's wrath while chasing all the supernatural skirts he can. N'Zuriel ("Little Yaweh") keeps hitting the pause button situated on the side of his throne to stop action so that they can catch up on and analyze (incorrectly) what they're seeing, then restarts the action when they're satisfied. Know how sometime you lose track of what you're doing? That's when N'Zuriel hits the button.
Want more? Find the book. Prepare for belly pain from excess hilarity.

Try reading it only once,
By A Customer
This review is from: Money is love (Hardcover)
Let me put it this way: I own three copies of the book and keep looking for it in used bookstores. I've read nearly all of Condon's books but this is my favorite - the concept is funny, the characters are funny, the dialogue is funny and it all works. Track it down.

RICHARD CONDON: BRILLIANT-BRILLIANT and FUNNYBONE Funny,
By
This review is from: Money Is Love (Mass Market Paperback)
"Money Is Love" gives new, superlative meaning to "tour de force." This is without question in my mind, at the very least one of the most brilliant novels ever written. And though I am not exactly a connosseur of novels (I've read a few hundred or more in my time and for several years have been completing one myself), much more importantly this is a demonstration of a brilliant, brilliant mind, unfortunately lost to us some few years ago. Author of "Prizzi's Honor" and "The Manchurian Candidate" this book -- "Money Is Love" -- is so exceedingly brilliant -- "very, very funny, humorous," of course, but those book review plaudits are in my judgment far beside the point: this is evidence of a brilliant mind at work. And a mind every sensitive reader can appreciate virtually in every paragraph, every line. (I might add that though "The Manchurian Candidate" was a very thoughtful, well-written book, in itself it gave little indication of Condon's brilliance -- and wide-ranging knowledge and research -- as evidenced in "Money Is Love.) And of course, beyond my assertion of Condon's extraordinary gift, if you as a reader like your funnybone tickled, then, kid -- this is the place!!
