Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Who is the patron saint of arms dealers? Of oversleeping? If you were throwing a party, who would you invoke for new wine and the hangover the next morning? The answers are found in this lighthearted look at the saints written by former National Lampoon editor Kelly and New York humor writer Rogers. Approximately 585 saints are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced by birthdays, ethnicity, disease, and occupation (sailors seem to implore the saints most often). Most entries list some cruel and unusual torture leading to martyrdom, including hot nails driven through flesh, skinning alive, and the old standby, crucifixion. This guide won't replace Butler's Lives of the Saints , but it gives a fresh take on saint biographies.-- L. Kriz, Sioux City P.L., Ia.

    I had this book in tangible form and loved it so much I had to get it on my nook.

    I loaned this book to my dad and don't know where it got to. Had to have it again! It's fun and informative. It brings saints down to a human level that allows the average person to relate. The reader is reminded that in order to become a saint, a person must be human first and as humans are not always perfect. Love it, Love it, Love it! (Also great as a general reference book for patrons, etc.)
