No payment, just enjoyed it. A lot.

In the end, it’s all about taste.

Are you all getting paid to post a good review of this? This book COULD HAVE been very engaging and original, yet it decides to choose an easy route and go for a formalatic, by the numbers, good time read.
The Job story here is elementary, Joby is just whiny, which the author believes that will be unerstood as a life of hardship, yet it quickly becomes too much to care about. Joby is a cry-baby, and the reader has to had him tissue papers through out the book.
The writing style is extremely dull. And the periodic cuss word is just a proof that no clear style was thought of. It was choosen for shock value and fails.
I can’t understand the generally good reviews here.

Great review….and very accurate to boot. My little complaint would, however, be that the devil is a less sinister than I would of liked him to be. But again, just a little thing. By no means does it diminish the great work by Mark Ferrari.

I bought this as a birthday present to myself but haven’t been able to get to it yet. I think my Christmas present to myself will be to actually read it.

I’m glad there are other people out there enjoying/looking forward to Mark’s novel. It really deserves to get more attention from a larger audience.

I should thank the other bloggers who first gave me the impetus to pick up The Book of Joby in the first place!
