"Highly entertaining." -- The Jerusalem Post

"A bloody good book. . . . Very funny. . . . Priceless for those of all traditions who see value in posing unanswerable questions to each other, and to God himself."--The Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Thanks to David Plotz's amazing book, I will never have to read The Bible. When can he do this for Madame Bovary?"--Andy Borowitz, author of The Borowitz Report

"Highly entertaining."--The Jerusalem Post

"Plotz is a genius writer. He can mine Genesis for new insights--and play the book of Job for laughs. He's the perfect companion for a romp through the Bible: charmingly confessional, a deeply penetrating reader, and at complete ease relating ancient (often obscure) narratives to our modern condition."--Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World

"Like the Bible itself, Good Book contains multitudes--it is by turns thought-provoking, funny, enlightening and moving. In short, David Plotz's book easily lives up to its name. Trust me, Thou shalt enjoy."--A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically

"Irreverent. . . . Plotz's hilarious exegeses will have you laughing out loud. Who knew the Bible was such a riot?"--Time Out New York
