A review by lisawhelpley
God Says No by James Hannaham

3.0

First of all - I saw this listed as a memoir when I bought it. Unfortunately, when you read on a Kindle, you don't see a book jacket, or anything indicating it's a novel. This is a novel. I didn't find that out until I finished the book today. I feel stupid that I didn't figure that out, but I'm kind of surprised because the book was awkward and kind of did read like a memoir, in that it wasn't elaborate or thorough...as if it really were a memoir by somebody who didn't remember much, but did remember odd details.
This book kept me reading -- I wanted to see what was going to happen. I won't spoil the ending but the way it ended didn't satisfy me.
I was appalled by the errors and formatting in this book. Terrible and disappointing, coming from McSweeney's.
