A NEW MARK TWAIN IN THE MAKING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Is the insanity of the world getting you down? Is the insanity of your job got you in a tail spin? Are the insanities of 21st Century Church battles driving you crazy? THEN, you need a healthy dose of Mark Schweizer's GREAT GOD GIVEN GIFT of holding up a mirror to ourselves and showing how INSANE we can be. I speak as a professional church musician and believer; it can get this insane. Mark thank you for making us laugh and especially laugh at ourselves. Keep up the great work; we all need a good laugh and you give it to us in each and every episode of this most enjoyable and wonderful series. You have the makings of a new MARK TWAIN! Don't miss the Leper to beat all Lepers!
Great read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have read all four of the Schweizer books and highly recommend all of them. Although the stories do not build on each other, suggest you read "The Alto Wore Tweed" first. After you pick yourself up off the floor and find time to stop laughing, read the other three. Schweizer is a very entertaining writer.
Good company
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I like Mark Schweizer's liturgical mysteries. His characters are good company, the things he finds funny about religious observance, I also find funny (and I speak as a believer). If what you're looking for is tight plotting, devious and deeply explored characters, or thrilling climaxes, look elsewhere. But if what you want is a pleasant way to spend time in your summer hammock or beach chair, any of the "X Wore Y" books will suit you just fine.
Funniest book I've read in ages
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I've actually Mark Schweizer's books in order and I think this one is the best so far. This one (like the first two) is an absolutely hilarious send-up of Episcopal church life with a top notch mystery thrown in to boot. I had to read several passages out loud to my wife and could barely finish them I was laughing so hard. Don't miss out on this series!
Very Good Liturgical Mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Very readable with an enjoyable story. I read this book again today but had to skip over the story within the story that is written by the main character. He is trying to win the Bulworth-Litton competition and some of his stories are unreadable. The main mystery in this book deals with a body found inside the altar of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. Hayden eventually discovers who criminal is but not before he becomes the town pariah.
