Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments from the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller.
A scathingly funny reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments from the larger, louder half of world-famous magic duo Penn and Teller reveals an atheist's experience in the world: from performing on the Vegas strip with Siegfried and Roy to children and fatherhood to his ongoing dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right and the joys of sex while scuba-diving, Penn has an outrageous sense of humor and a brilliantly entertaining opinion on, well, anything you care to think of.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This hilarious and often jaw-dropping audio version of magician Penn Jillette's reimagining of the 10 Commandments is a delightful romp from start to finish. As a narrator, Jillette offers an inspired reading as he outlines his political and social viewpoints in a deep and raspy voice. From his personal feelings about Richard Nixon to his thoughts about organized religion, Jillette leaves no stone unturned and he doesn't feel an ounce of shame about any of his opinions either. Unlike his silent on-stage partner, Jillette is never short on words. Listening to this larger-than-life performer rant is entertaining and pretty darn compulsive, too. Jillette proves to be as strong a writer and narrator as he is magician. A Simon & Schuster hardcover.
Customer Reviews
What a wild ride!
Penn Jillette, the (publicly) more vocal side of Penn & Teller, has his wicked way with the idea that being an atheist means you can't love everyone and everything.
Veering from serious to desperately funny (stopping off at heart-wrenchingly sad in between), Penn takes us on a drunken hayride down memory lane in the way that only a teetotaller really can.
Be you atheist, fundamentalist or wishy-washy (that's me), you can't help but respect a man as brutally honest as this.
I'm better off for reading this book - you will be, too.
