Have you all read any of his other books? I have read God Knows and it was pretty good, but a little too long for the story.

I read God Knows to help study for my Bible class. It is a funny version of the lives of David and Solomon.

One of my favourite quotes of all time is from this book:
"These three men who hated him spoke his language and wore his uniform, but he saw their loveless faces set immutably into cramped, mean lines of hostility and understood instantly that nowhere in the world, not in all the fascist tanks or planes or submarines, not in the bunkers behind the machine guns or mortars of the crack Hermann Goering Antiaircraft Division or among the gristly connivers in all the beer halls in Munich and anywhere else, were there three men who hated him more."
