Bad Monkey
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Title: Sock
Author: Penn Jillette
Genre: Crime Fiction
Read: 15th July 2005
Comments: Part cop thriller, part 70s/80s rock encyclopedia, part atheist rant, and part porno novel: only Penn could pull this off. 'Sock' is the story of a NYC police diver who finds an ex-girlfriend's body at the bottom of the river and starts his own investigation of her murder. The catch of the story that sets it apart from other 'cop on a quest' type novels is Penn's darkly honest sense of humor as evidenced by it's narrator: the cop's foul-mouthed pet sock-monkey (you heard me right, a talking sock-monkey). The book goes off on lots of weird tangents, but ultimately pays off big time. This is an amazing book, but not for the squeamish. Check it out.

Naw, it's not American Psycho level gross, not even close. You should read it! His views on religion are very similar to yours, I think you'll find.
