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.
Not exactly what I was thinking but it was enjoyable enough for a quick read. I picked this up due to having enjoyed Penn's “This I Believe” segment on NPR a few years ago, and a general fondness for atheist leaning works by other skeptics. Penn tends to drift from atheism rather quickly into other realms of skepticism and has a lot to say about libertarianism for large chunks of the book. I found myself arguing against several of his viewpoints while reading, which is kind of uncommon for me while reading. It's definitely a book by Penn Jillette and I mean that in all the best and worst ways possible. You're going to hear his take on atheism, santa claus, family, global warming, gun control, underwater fucking and much, much more.
