5 out of 5 stars Repent, Quit your job, Slack off!   January 20, 2006
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Most people start out thinking that this book is a joke. It's hilarious, yes, but what you don't realise for a while is that it's funny because it's TRUE. There is a conspiracy, and it's actively trying to stop you from having a good time, from doing what you want, from HAVING SLACK. This book can move you both to uncontrollable, senseless laughter and to abject terror and sorrow. I have never read a book like this before.

5 out of 5 stars The "Third Way" for spiritual anarchists   June 22, 1999
 11 out of 14 found this review helpful

This is the most important book ever published. It's religious satire, full of hip inside jokes. HA HA until you realise it's not a joke at all. You are sitting there holding in your hands a challenge to all mankind. Then the bowels loosen and we find out what kind of man or woman you really are: a pink? a normal? The guy with the best taste on the dance floor, who can mention the names of all the coolest pop badboys? Do you think your postmodern irony will protect you from the coming apocalypse?

Then prepare to fry!
