You think you know satire. You've seen Jon Stewart, you've read Mad magazine. But you've never encountered anything like "Bob" and the Church of the SubGenius. The SubGenii have reached the limits of satire and pressed further, and in doing so have created a brand of satire that curtails its own absurdity and heightens our awareness of the world we live in. The SubGenii have never been as relevant as they are today. Fundamentalist religion in the extreme, there are no limits to "Bob's" influence. In Revelation X we get answers to difficult questions: We learn the 10,001 Essences of "Bob" and He tells of His Very Own Conspiracy. Revealed for the first time are the Lost Gospels, the Epistles, the history of Mondo Connie, and a detailed description of "Bob's" Heaven and Hell. Also included are the 273 Damnable, Venial, Black, White, Deadly, Menial and Trivial Sins, which include Buffalo Frenching (#4), Luck Listening (#40), Wedbetting (#76), and Reading judgmental lists of so-called "sins" (#273).

3.0 out of 5 stars
It is kinda cool and all...,

This review is from: Revelation X: The Bob Apocryphon, Hidden Teachings and Deuterocanonical Texts of J.R. Bob Dobbs (Paperback)
...but really, it is not all the important. I will say that it does list some cool things for the "religion" and whatnot, but overall, it is not that far removed from the last book.If you are already an Overman, then you might want to check this one out, but if you are just a casual reader and not that into it all, you can probably pass on this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read..,

This book is one of the very best books I've read in a long time. Thank you Church Of The SubGenius for this great book of wildly funny wisdom!

5.0 out of 5 stars
2nd best book of all time!,
By Agent Lloyd "Agent Lloyd" (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revelation X: The Bob Apocryphon, Hidden Teachings and Deuterocanonical Texts of J.R. Bob Dobbs (Paperback)
Excepting the Book of the Subgenius, this is the greatest work of man (perhaps even better and definitely more entertaining than "The" book). The book offers insight and befuddelment to the true meanings of the Church of the Subgenius. The many holy and blasphemous essays are interspersed with beautiful and shocking artwork by members of this unique UFO sex-[...] cult. It is definitely a must-buy. If you already own a copy you should definitely buy another (they make great coasters, too).
