Rambling bio of Penn Jillette.
Enjoyed most of it but was put off by his discussion of mentor/personal savior James Randi. I go with Mr. Jillette's philosophy of “I don't know” in a lot of my world philosophy but I have a problem with people or “societies” who's only claim to fame is trying to debunk or diminish others in order to boost their agenda or their own lack of entertainment value or credibility.
Rant over.
Fun book with some laugh out loud moments where you wish you had been there.
I liked this quite a bit, but listening to his voice reading the audio version took its toll on my rating.
Penn Jillette is a nut, really he says it several times throughout this book. Penn is outspoken and has non-traditional views. God no is a nice glimpse into those views all presented through stories of Penn's life. Penn is also not trying to convert anyone to atheism but instead points out many entertaining facts about faith, science, and god as well as a fun look into show business.
I found this book funny and entertaining but have to warn people that there is a lot of foul language and sexual content throughout the book.
