A review by ericbuscemi
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson

3.0

The three-star rating I gave The Gospel of FSM is deceptive, because I really did enjoy the idea of the book. My issue is that it just went on for too long. The point the book made (and fairly well, I may add) was laid out by about half way through its 260 pages. Through that point, the book had me laughing out loud, but by the end of the book, the idea was getting worn, and I struggled to finish it. The lesson here is that satire needs to be honed and focused to maintain its edge.

I would still recommend The Gospel of The Flying Spagghetti Monster to anyone that is open to the concept of alternative religions, and especially anyone that opposes the idea of Intelligent Design being taught in public schools.
