a burning bush, magicians, rape, incest, war, murder, genocide and porn.
The only catch is that if you read, people will expect you to believe everything in it is real. And if you point out that anything is make believe, they will tell you that you are going to a place where a big evil guy burns you for all eternity.
Weird, huh?

It sounds like you're quoting the back cover blurb... It promises a lot but it doesn't deliver.
I've read it I'm afraid and it was a massive disappointment. The hero is an egomaniac, and the other characters are generally very unsympathetic. It's also repetitive - too much smiting, too much begatting... And massively overlong. I think it's one of those books that everyone reads, just so you can say you've read it...
I hear it's number 1 on the best-seller lists, though... Mind you, the public like pap. Nothing mentally challenging ever sells!

I gotta' say, I don't remember any unicorns. Or pornography - because if there was porn I think everyone on here would be avid Bible readers. I also can't say I recall a part that says a big evil guy will burn anybody for all eternity. God told Adam that the punishment for sin was death. He didn't mention a fiery place of torment. An interesting viewpoint, none-the-less.

I've read it.
The author is a hack. There are so many contradictions and just plain lies that it makes the Gor novels look like Pulitzer prize materiel in comparison.

I like all the smiting when the hero gets p*ssed cos he's being ignored and chucks his dolly out the pram. OH! and the stick turning into a snake.

Right on the money! Good question. You get my vote for the Best Question if there is such a category!

Sounds good to me. Do you have the Reader's Digest condensed easy-read version. It sounds a bit long to me.

and yet we still ban books like Tom Sawyer and Catcher in the Rye...I'm not sure what goes through people's heads sometimes.
