The compelling story of a family of fervent God-botherers which may or may not be a family memoir and is certainly full of tall tales.

when the author is also the narrator you do get a bit better understanding of the contextual cues. that being said. it's a Rankin story. surreal and entertaining and confusing.

it's a Rankin story.

If you have listened to other Rankin books and liked them, you should like this. it is indeed meandering - a lot, even for him. Having some understanding of Captain Beefheart's album "Trout Mask Replica" is helpful in understanding what's going on.

Love the humor , I can read these books and not feel like I lost more brain cells. Enjoyable way to wind down in the evenings.

HILARIOUS

This book just keeps going and going. The narrator is excellent but the story is just pointless silliness.

Endless

A wonderful romp through the strange world that makes you really want to buy a few pints and while away a few hours with Master Rankin.

Delightfully Strange

I am not sure if I grasped the point of this book. However it was a relief to listen to something where authors need to make people incredible ignorant or change premise underway to make a plot.

This is so far out that this is not necessary. Also written before anyone with a idea can make a book without having to making a story without the stuff mentioned above.

I can't wait for the next one!

Zany rambling tales and fabulously funny narration

for a book that is so weird it's expressive how boring it was. I've read other books by Robert Rankin and really enjoyed them but this one missed the mark.
