God's Other Son Imus

Rating:
Summary: No surprises.
Review: I've actually watched the Imus show at various times for the same reason I can get hypnotized by TV preachers -- they're so unbelievably bad that I can't believe anyone buys it. I have never heard "the I-man" say anything that was remotely witty, insightful or urbane. I may have missed it amidst the mumbles and gum snapping but I doubt it. So I certainly picked up this book with some prejudice, wondering if I might find myself surprised by a talent on the page not in evidence in his other venues. Nope. Clumsy phrasing, telegraphed gags and heavy-handed critiques. As another reviewer remarked this ain't Elmer Gantry. But then Elmer Gantry was written by a writer.

Summary: It's great! Read and enjoy!
Review: Jesus God, you have to read GOD'S OTHER SON. It is entertaining and a quick read. If you love Imus, you won't want to miss this. Fictionally very insightful into Don's humor and personality

Summary: Imus is a waste, his book is a waste.
Review: Look, Imus is an weathered old fuddy-duddy. Everything he says sounds childish and stupid. For a real book read Howard Stern's Private Parts of Miss America. Those are books by a radio genius.

Summary: Profane and funny
Review: This book is definitely not for people who are easily offended. Imus's scathing commentary on evangelists is not for the faint of heart. Sexual mores and religous beliefs are all fair game in this outrageous look at "God's Other Son" Billy Sol Hargus and his trials and tribulations. This book will either make you laugh out loud or shake with anger depending on where your beliefs lie. I chose to laugh.

Rating:
Summary: A disappointment; neither literate nor funny; a ripoff
Review: This book, incredibly hyped on Imus radio show two years ago, is actually a reissue of his 1982 book, a failure then and a failure now. Readers, especially those who waited in line up to three hours for a signed copy should feel especially ripped-off. And the publisher, Simon & Schuster, should feel ashamed of itself

Summary: If you don't think this book is funny, you must be dead!
Review: This is Don Imus at his best! I had never laughed out loud while reading until I read this book. The characters and premise seem ridiculous at first, but you only need to watch one TV evangelist to know that Imus has captured the entire "industry" perfectly. I only hope this will not be Imus' only novel.

Rating:
Summary: Scathing satire at its best!!!
Review: This is the second time I have had the pleasure of reading GOD'S OTHER SON. While it is guaranteed to offend a number of readers, even its detractors would have to admit that it is one of the funniest books ever written. After reading the first 20 or 30 pages, I knew that Imus couldn't keep up the pace. I was wrong. His humor never took a break, and I completed the book in two sessions. It is one of the very few books that actually made me laugh out loud until I had tears in my eyes. This is a must for anyone who has an appreciation for fine satire

Summary: Imus radio program come out on audio book
Review: When I got this audiobook I was prepared to listen to Don Imus just read the book to me, but I was pleasanly suprised. Imus uses things that make the bits on his radio program great in the audiobook. If you are a fan of the I-man and you are looking for a good time and a quick way to kill 2 hours I suggest this audiobook. CAN I GET AN AMEN?!
