sunfishe's review against another edition
im not gonna put a star rating for now because i am hugely conflicted about this book. what started as a book that was light-hearted and conversational ended in a confusing mess of violence. the last 13 questions of the book brought the whole thing to quite a head.
conceptually i love this book, but I am very conflicted about the character of the taxidermist -- which I think is exactly the authors point
i love the words about faith being like being in the sun, and Virgil having God days and Godless days.
