The Bible is funny! Very funny, according to Douglas Adams. In this book, Adams demonstrates how readers can discover this often-neglected humor looking at the Bible as a whole and seeing biblical stories with all their rough edges--the unethical and ambiguous characters, the unsolved problems, and the surprising endings. Adams argues that by...

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Wrong Douglas

    If you're looking for some good, biting, satire by renowned british satirist, Douglas Adams, boy oh boy is this not the Douglas Adams for you. The Douglas Adams that wrote this book isn't so much an incredibly influential atheist so much as he is a professor of Christianity. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Or if there was, I'd always heard them called a preacher. Anyhow, boo organized religion and boo this fake Douglas Adams. The two sentences that I read before realizing the narrative voice was a bit... off, weren't even remotely funny.

  • Good read

    It's an interesting read do need some Bible knowledge to truely get the jyst of it
