Stacey Earle thinks this is funny. No doubt, the book is written in a charming style, and all the different characters come across as essentially silly harmless eccentrics, and we, the readers feel soooooo good about ourselves because we're not eccentric, are we?
Well, I used to like books like this. But then these nutjobs started to be taken seriously. Did you know that a recent president of the United States used an astrologer to aid in his decision making? Do you know that the present president of the United States thinks it's ok to teach outright lies in science class?
These people stopped being harmeless eccentrics a long time ago for me. These people are bloody dangerous. Sooner or later, one of them gets it in their head that God is calling him to invade a country he can't locate on a map and free the people from tyranny. Haha! How charmingly quaint!!
