I listened to this book on a recent road trip with some friends. It was definitely a good choice to put on during the long hours of driving through Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado... especially because if you fall asleep for a little while as a passenger you don't miss much! The book/performance is super repetitive - one could say to the nth degree. It was tedious, mind-numbing, funny, lascivious, and oh so repetitious. From the very beginning I didn't understand what I was listening to. Short snippets of gods' abilities and jobs? Something with no plot whatsoever? Whatever it was, Leyner wrote some... interesting prose. At times the language was beautiful (and weird), and we road-trippers couldn't help but laugh out loud (and eye-roll and groan) through most of the book.
