It is a also a great example of a book about octopi selecting a new pope.
Yep, that's what it's about. They drink, they swear, they randomly pick a new pope by stuffing a bunch of names into a hat. They pick who they think is a dud and then it turns out he is awesome... and then it turns out he is a dud.
John Smallberries tells us none of the "why" and sticks to the confines of this beautifully simple and nutty premise.
This is a short, fast, and hilarious read.
As soon as I saw the name, I said "Hell yes!" I said the same thing after reading it.
OMG, I said the same thing upon reading the title. Now, after your review, I'm off to get this.
