Product Description

Product Description

It's 1987, and "God" has returned to Earth to goof on humanity once more. Equipped with a new message and a bell that makes people happy, he opens up a new age store, ready to have some fun. Fortunately, things don't turn out quite like He'd planned.

Luke Rhinehart, author of the cult classic, "The Dice Man," called "Whom God Would Destroy," “a wonderful novel, with an original comic vision and style that had me laughing aloud.”

Whom God Would Destroy is a thought provoking novel about God, insanity, Big Macs, space aliens and the search for the Ultimate Orgasm...but mostly it's about taking reality with a pillar of salt.

It is very refreshing to read Commander Pants' "Whom God Would Destroy." From the author's nom de plume to the characters through the story itself, everything seems fresh and original. And entertaining. As I get older it gets harder and harder to find a book I want to bother to finish. This novel was definitely one I couldn't help finishing. It's a comic gem.

Take the second coming, mental illness, interstellar space travel, MacDonalds, a hodge podge of disparate characters, then add a little biblical philosophy and top up with the search for an orgasm and what you will get is this interesting read. Previously people have mentioned Pratchett and Adams, I'd have to say I don't see any Pratchett but there is a passing nod to Douglas Adams therein.

The story itself is a convoluted tale centering on 6 or so characters (it might be more due to schizophrenia) in which the author seeks to have us question the validity of assuming people who make outlandish claims might simply be mentally ill. We are taken behind the mind, so to speak of these people and shown a world view that differs greatly from our carefully constructed reality.

The book, to me, was interesting and a little (not much) thought-provoking although I certainly would be stretching it to call it funny or comical but, then again, humour is subjective so your mileage may vary.

The tale seems to lag a bit in the middle third and just about loses its way before the author picks it up and stitches the narrative together again but, ultimately, I failed to see what, if any, point he was aiming at. To me, it felt a little unresolved at the end I'm afraid to say and I got the impression that the author had run out of ideas.

I think I was reading too much into the script!

It's fun and certainly worth a look at and I have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

If you can't find the humor in killing or at least maiming a sacred cow or two (literally, given all the Big Macs consumed), then this isn't the book for you. But if a little light-hearted blasphemy sounds fun, if poking fun at religion, the mental health profession, and just about everything to do with your fellow earthlings sounds like a good time, have I got the book for you.

Seriously (or at least as serious as I can be about this book), how people react to humor can vary and it is often dependent on the subjects they are capable of laughing at and those they always take seriously. I found this very funny. If none of the items above is one of your sacred cows, you should find it funny too.
