5.0 out of 5 stars
Hysterically literate,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Politically Correct Guide to the Bible (Hardcover)
A laugh out loud combination of satire, wordplay, and clever twists on familiar Biblical tales, fitted to today's cracked politics.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Less than meets the eye,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Politically Correct Guide to the Bible (Hardcover)
Sheer incoherence is the trouble with most specimens of this genre-and now that scads of such books have appeared, it is not pretentious or even inaccurate to use this lit crit term.
In a frenzy to get off side-splitting one-liners, the authors slip from one perspective-or notion of what is really real, or method, or principle-to another, gratuitously. Nothing finally adds up.
This is a far cry from authentic high satire satire which is exploratory, provocative, and open-ended; whose playfulness and display are means to the end of eliciting thought.
Moser's book and its ilk are pure play and display. The package is empty. hence eminently disposable.
