my book club read this book.There was a lot of discussion from this book.It makes a good book club read.everyone agreed it was funny.Some even thought it would make a great movie. we all learned about turduckin that they cook in the book.One member wanted to try and cook one.we thought that the old women in the book who is a friend of the priest was funny.we also thought about how many priest feel the way this priest feels in this book and becomes a priest.Everyone hopes he comes out with a second book and that they would defiantly read it.This book could possibly be defensive to some people.The way he makes the priest out to be a drunk and smokes and has a girlfriend.The talk about a gay priest. The Reference to alter girls and one who he thinks is coming on to him.the reference to rednecks.The one he makes about Pentecostal church and their members.He does in a way make fun of the catholic church and what goes on.In a way I did not find it funny and thought it was offensive.Not for everyone.Its defiantly not a christian fiction book.

I gave this book a little over 100 pages before I finally gave up. The author just seemed to ramble on and on and wasn't really getting anywhere.

Originally I selected this book as something to read on an upcoming vacation. However, I figured I ought to give it a little "preview" to see if I should bother (books take up space in the suitcase).
I'm a Northerner by birth, as the author is a Southerner by birth. I have a feeling we don't find humor in the same sort of things. It's clear this book is meant to be over-the-top but it still doesn't give me the Southern warmth I've experienced in person. Too many stereotypes pepper the pages in an attempt to be cute and different. Sadly, it is neither.
