The Bible of Unspeakable Truths

By: Greg Gutfeld, Penn Jillette - foreword

Narrated by: Greg Gutfeld

Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Renowned fake conservative pundit Stephen Colbert may have coined the word truthiness, but it's Greg Gutfeld, real conservative political pundit and host of the Fox News Channel's Red Eye who has made a name for himself by unabashedly pronouncing the actual uncomfortable truthiness of life that is sure to shock the P.C.

The Bible of Unspeakable Truths is packed full of his most aggressive (and hilarious) rants, with each chapter devoted to a single "unspeakable truth". For example, in one chapter he might be ranting that "liberals are the least liberal minded people you know," and in the next, "You aren't racist if you make fun of poor whites."

Though Gutfeld is best known for his "straight-from-the-gut" political commentary, as featured every night on Red Eye as well as his blog, The Daily Gut, this book will go well beyond politics, exploring pop culture, current events, and nearly every other aspect of life, such as "if house cats were your size, they would eat you without a second thought," "PETA would never march for a vulture," "The media wanted bird flu to kill thousands," "Attractive people don't write for a living," and "Ethan Hawke is a rodent."

With an irreverent voice, sharp wit, and a take on nearly everything, this "manual about how to think about things, for people equipped to think about things" will be one that listeners either love wholeheartedly, or love to hate - and will guarantee to entertain and amuse anyone who's ever been afraid to say what they really thought. As Greg says, "In the end, this book should make you nod your head a lot, and laugh more. If it doesn't then you should probably seek medical help. I did. And I am the better for it!"

Critic reviews

"Greg Gutfeld is uproariously funny and is one of my favorite guests." (Dennis Miller)

"As a rule I never read books I blurb, but I couldn't resist with this one. I even gave it to my 13-year-old son, who poured over it slack jawed all afternoon, thus warping him for life. It's that subversive and good." (Tucker Carlson)

"[Y]ou'll laugh yourself holy reading this one!" (Mike Huckabee)

Great read!

After finishing the Joy of Hate, I wanted to read Greg's previous works. Knowing that he narrated this book, really made my interest peak. Although I do not agree with all his points, I think it is a fantastic read with great humor and common sense. Note, this is something I listened to aloud, I would not recommend doing so if you are at a public venue that may not tolerate strong language. Great read!

Never knew

I knew this guy was smart and funny , but dam . He's funny! I'm not easy amused, I was laughing through the whole book . Love it

Gutfeld is a comedic & observational genius

What made the experience of listening to The Bible of Unspeakable Truths the most enjoyable?

Very simply, he's funny, brutally honest and (omg) NOT a Liberal! Gutfeld says what needs to be said...the truth and he delivers it with a cartoon rubber mallet that hits hard. Honestly one of best Social/Political Commentaries I have ever read. He's not a carbon copy of an Agenda with exaggerated flourishes (a'la Bill Mahr, Jon Stewart etc...) he makes Everyone uncomfortable, Conservatives included. My advice, read this...you will laugh (regardless of your political leanings), you'll probably cringe. Hopefully Gutfeld will get the wide exposure he deserves...plain old honesty deserves a platform too.

BRUTAL TRUTH

I can’t believe how insightful this book is!

I’m amazed by how many of these truths are things I thought myself. Greg’s star is rising and it should.

Gutfeld is a rock star

the most entertaining author AND tv personality I can think of. all his books r hilarious and spot on!

Gutfeld fails to disappoint yet again.

If you could sum up The Bible of Unspeakable Truths in three words, what would they be?

Hilarious, Fun, Outstanding

What other book might you compare The Bible of Unspeakable Truths to and why?

I really cannot find another book of comparison. I think Gutfeld is in a class all on his own in my view.

What does Greg Gutfeld bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

As an avid fan of Red Eye, Greg's show that appears on Fox at o'dark thirty, his sense of humor can only come through his reading of the book. The inflections in his voice. The sarcasm. He brought the book to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was, unfortunately, my life does not allow for that to happen. So when I was traveling to and from work on the bus, I'd listen. Over lunch, between classes. Any spare moment became time to listen.

Love the "truths", but hate the repetitive humor

I love what Gutfeld has to say about politics, life and human behavior...and I even enjoyed how he said it, for about 20 minutes. But then the repetitive use of the same comedy techniques got a bit ridiculous. After an hour of the book I was almost able to predict his next humorous comment, missing only a detail or two. It seems that Gutfeld had much more truth content than he had comedic variety. I would say that the substance of the book deserved four/maybe five stars, while the style was only a two. Don't get me wrong, the humor was funny...just way too predictable and repetitive after about an hour.

feel my fury naked body...

It is what it is... And what it is... is what it is!
the end!

Captain Naked Fur Baby

Pure Greg...

great ramblings from an extremely funny and entertaining man... Love them on red eye... Love them on the five... Love him on the Gutfeld show now ... Going to listen to many other books okay yes now...

Hysterical

If you like the Fox show Red Eye you will love this book! Prefer the narration by the author in this book. It conveys the point better than someone just reading it.
