This is a terrific book not because it proselytized Atheism but it celebrates humanity. Penn Jillette shares truly touching and humorous stories of his friends and family. He gives us a poetic look into our own lives and the people we share them with.

Yes, he is very entertaining.

The book isn't focused on the title. Penn Jillette just uses the 10 commandments to tell stories that sometimes have a point and sometimes just don't suit. The stories however are all entertaining. And Penn Jillette reads them so, it is a good presentation. It you are looking for material on Atheism, I wouldn't recommend the book. It you want to hear some very entertaining stories about the life of a celebrity, ( raunchy ones ) then you might enjoy it. I am 90% through it, and expected more 'there is no god' and not as much "GAD, NO!" type stories. But aside from the pointlessness, it is entertaining. Thanks for the good stories Penn.

I'm a baby boomer, about 5 years older than Penn, so I relate to a lot of the way he looks at things. I'm not one to dis atheism and whether I am or am not an atheist is none of your business. This book is an excellent source to learn how other people think who may not be followers of any of the world's "great"religions.

Listen to it for the trippy, fun anecdotes.

Penn seems to have what some may see as a "big man's complex", but I don't care. His ego may bother some, but that's their problem.

I'm not into magic and the only time I might turn on a magic show on TV would be if I have trouble sleeping. That does not stop me from respecting magicians.

His misadventure with his ex-girlfriend's roommate hair dryer made me laugh to tears. His atheist baptism stories are worth the money. Here's a guy that really has no hang ups with so-called judeo-christian repressed values.

yes, Penn Jillette is amusing. he tells stories pertaining to his subject matter, and a lot more that only have to do with the people around and how they live without "god". he has a great speaking voice and betrays his New England Mass-hole-chuttes origin with every breath he takes.

his asides and rambles make more sense than most peoples direct points.

Penn Jillette swear. I mean he swears a lot, a whole cosmic f*cking sh*t ton! but he doesn't swear JUST for the sake of swearing. he swears as part of the act. it's not uncommon for Penn to go whole paragraphs without swearing, but you know that when he does, it's to make a point (That and he loves talking about Tits. Boobs, Melons, Tatas, Breast!)

listening when Penn describes the death of his father

as with his magic show, so with his books. Penn gets to talking and you miss the illiusion part of the show, and you get the point anyway.

There is no god, but Penn Jillette is funny as fucking hell.

(don't miss the part where he drops his penis in to an overheated blowdryer, it'll bring tears to your eyes)

If you like free flowing talks about sex, libertarianism, magic and atheism spattered with no lack of obscenities, then this just might be the book for you.

If you are looking to find insights about atheism, what it means and if it's right for you, then you might want to look elsewhere.

I try to read / listen to at least some non-fiction works every month. Penn Jillette has done a great job of communicating a difficult topic in today's America.

This book has a great deal of cursing in it so if you are terribly offended by that you probably don't want to listen to the book. Having said that I thought the story was very insightful and funny throughout and I will definitely listen to it again. If there is any doubt in your heart or mind about the existence of God, I highly recommend listening to this book. If there isn't any doubt, maybe you should listen anyway!

Best audiobook that i've ever listened to.

My favorite part is when Penn is telling a story about his sister at the coffee shop with some of his friends.

He brings emotion and a sense of humanity. He'll make you laugh and cry at the same time. It was beautiful.

the language needs to be cleaned up....you can be funny without using the "F" word in every sentence.

I stopped listening when I just could not take hearing another "F".

"I don't know" says it all and Penn explains it.

In the first person. He wrote it so emphasis is where it should be

A good read. Even better with the 2 for one " Bogo "
