I just got to the comment you mentioned. It was unmistakable. Even though it is reacted to with revulsion by others around and retracted, that is like telling the jury to disregard the evidence they just heart. One wonders what prompted the author to make sure that piece of vulgarity got in there. Oy! That said, I still do love the book. I'm just going to wince every time I see it.Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08384291674560438678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-47340901509337409132011-08-23T20:56:05.420-05:002011-08-23T20:56:05.420-05:00666 is the number of pages in the BandN edition.

At first I thought all the Puritan sounding names would be used as a swipe at religion populated with ignorant science-hating people. Quite the opposite in fact and seemed to turn the stereotype on its head.<br /><br />There were certainly many funny parts involving the "devil" and then later the prisoners. Though a lot of it was dark humor.<br /><br />One thing that soured me on the book was the totally vulgar and gratuitous reference to the Virgin Mary which I found very sick. It kind of sapped my enjoyment of the book. With that once sentence removed I would have enjoyed the last section of the book as much as I enjoyed the first two/thirds.Jeff Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892529674664589034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-54424398468348508462011-08-23T14:29:45.246-05:002011-08-23T14:29:45.246-05:00hey,look! b&N has it free for the Nook too.
