Product Description
Product Description
NOT FOR CHILDREN! Jon Smith shares his experiences with the world's newest deity, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. According to legend, the FSM created the universe, starting with mountains, trees, and a "midgit." Jon Smith presents words of wisdom directly from the Flying Spaghetti Monster's noodly lips. All readers, both believers and skeptics alike, will be transformed by the revealed poetic wisdom on love, sex, service, and cleanliness. Read eye-opening commentary on the seven deadly sins and other world religions. Discover the only logically proven answers to the questions "What is the one true religion?" and "Who is the one true God?" GOD SPEAKS! ends with astonishing prophecies on the end of the world, and a catalog of 10,000 mysterious and uncensored verses. This book is also a thoughtful essay on delusion and belief. Through humor, GOD SPEAKS! challenges us to take our spirituality and religion seriously, and look deeper.

Format:Paperback
This is the sort of book which will provide a couple of hours of entertainment. As such, it would be expensive if it sold for half the recommended retail price.
The basic idea of the book is to produce various anagrams of 'Flying Spaghetti Monster.' So, for instance, we are told about the font which is used for these anagrams and offered the anagram 'Almighty pestering fonts.' My main observation about the fonts chosen is that they are very large. This, combined with 108 pages in the main body of the book, doesn't constitute great value for money. I should add that there is also a lengthy appendix which has 10,000 further anagrams (and occupies almost 50 pages) but I suspect that only the most dedicated Pastafarian is going to read more than a small selection of them.
There are a few laughs to be had but, really, it is far too expensive.

Kill me now
23 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading The Gospel Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster last year, I expected this book to be more irreverent fun based around the whole FSM concept.
How wrong can one person be?
I managed to get through roughly half of the book and that was only because I couldn't find a newspaper at work to read instead. The author has taken the fun out of the FSM and my impression is that he is just trying to cash in on Bobby Henderson's creation without making much of an effort other than putting the words Flying Spaghetti Monster through a program that creates anagrams.
It's garbage and not worth the effort of shelling out your hard earned bucks. If you have already bought it, use it to prop open a door or stick it in the bathroom for when you run out of toilet paper.

Sorry, not funny.

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was a hoot--I recommend THAT book easily--but this book is a waste of money. Seriously. I'm sorry, but even The FSM wanted to smack this author with his noodly appendage.

Waste
6 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
The author didn't have any purpose. This book was short and boring. He used a computer to create a list of anagrams of FSM related words. The list of anagrams alone takes up about half of the book. In the other half, he talks about the anagrams. There isn't anything clever or revealing about them. It's mostly a series of, "Oh, isn't it a coincidence that this is an FSM anagram?" moments. He also writes about how great his FSM logo is and how it's better than the more common ones. Please don't waste your time or money.
