Good to the last page
Good to the last page? Especially the last page. Too many books end with an anticlimatic 'by the same author' burblechore, but not this one. The author's note had me in stiches.

Throughout the book, I was delighted by the farcical situations, the lovable, flawed hero and the tight narrative style. If I have one criticism, it would be that Fowler takes aim at a sitting duck, describing primarily the liberal Western faiths. I felt that extremists elsewhere could have been handled more thoroughly. (Still, I wouldn't want to incur a fatwa the way Salman Rushdie did, so I suppose this is understandable.)

Stop thinking about ordering a copy of this book, and just do it. Order this book, and in less time than it takes a carton of milk to go off, you could have a life-changing experience... or at least a very good laugh.

I have a proposal: we should bulk-buy a million or more copies of this book, and distribute it widely. Ideally, in every hotel and motel throughout the world, next to the Gideon bible, there would be a copy of Scepticism, Inc. It might make the world a better place.

Aloha.

Genius
this is one of the best books i have ever read. i would definately recommend the authers other book 'The Astrological Diary of God'. I used to know the author, he was my G.C.S.E english teacher. He was one of my favourite teachers and is the nicest guy you could ever meet. He deserves awards for his work. It was an honour to be tought by him and i can't wait for his next book.
