Book Overview
The Bible According to Spike Milligan is an irreverent but very funny spoof of The Old Testament in which, in his own inimitable fashion, Spike Milligan gives his version of the best known biblical stories.
In the Bible, according to Spike Milligan: "In the beginning God created the Heaven and Earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep; this was due to a malfunction at Lots Road Power Station...And God said 'Let there be light'." 'Desperately funny, vivid, vulgar' Sunday Times 'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese 'The Godfather of Alternative Comedy' Eddie Izzard 'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry Spike Milligan was one of the greatest and most influential comedians of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1918, he served in the Royal Artillery during WWII in North Africa and Italy. At the end of the war, he forged a career as a jazz musician, sketch-show writer and performer, before joining forces with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe to form the legendary Goon Show. Until his death in 2002, he had success as on stage and screen and as the author of over eighty books of fiction, memoir, poetry, plays, cartoons and children's stories.Format:Paperback

No Respect!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
To start I'll say that I have not read the Bible, and maybe I never will. This has to be one of the funniest books I have ever read, and is told in Spikes great way, which is so familiar to anyone who knows the Goons or Spikes recollections of his participation in WW2. He lets fly on all aspect of the Bible, no holds barred. Apparently there was a lot of sex! Reading this on public transport will have people staring at you as you laugh out loud with Spike's description of people and events. Buy it if you love to laugh!
