Politically Correct Old Testament Stories (Robert Martin Walker)


The title sums this one up nicely- this is a collection of Old Testament stories modified to be politically correct for the modern age.  The intent, of course, is to be humorous.  Does it succeed?  Kinda.  This book is, at times, amusing, but gets repetitive (and annoying) quickly.  Words like "womyn," "_____-enhanced", and "_____-gifted" are used so frequently it makes it hard to slog through this slim, 86-page volume.  Perhaps that's the point- that if you go "fully PC" you get really annoying, really quickly- but I think it could have been done a bit better.

Rating: C-
