Trade ReviewBelieve me, this book is going to cause one almighty stink...
Deeply, intelligently satirical. In lesser hands it could easily have become a crass rant. Yet Niven provides
hilarious, perceptive entertainment...Only the truly ignorant will take offence. But then they usually do -- Henry Sutton * The Mirror, Book of the Week **** *
An
entertaining novel...In the midst of it all,
there is compassion, and insight into the way the impulse for truth can lead to dark acts indeed... Bloody funny * Independent on Sunday *
Consistently entertaining...Behind all the curses and the gags, orthodoxy reigns in Niven's MTV-style gospel as Jesus battles oppression, hypocrisy and the satanic forces of Simon Cowell - sorry, "Steven Stelfox".
Consistently funny and smart...Trendy vicars might even consider distributing it after their Easter sermons -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent *
John Niven tore the music industry apart with his coruscating debut novel and now he's back again, along with
Kill Your Friends obscene anti-hero Steven Stelfox, to get stuck into religion and celebrity culture... the story rattles along at a breakneck speed, delivering wonderful abuse at all and sundry * The Big Issue *
A humorous, quirky take on what Jesus would do, think and be if he was on Earth today * Bookbag *
