What Would Satan Do? - Excerpt From 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Entry (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Excellent book with many funny moments that will have you laughing out loud at the characters and sometimes at your own life.To really enjoy this book you must have the ability to regard the stereotypes through the lenses of an absurd comic book. Once you are able to do that the story has its own life to entertain until the end.And by the way, I am a conservative male and big proponent of the Second Amendment. In this story I would most likely be one of the under-educated Hummer driving goons. But I did not take offense to the stereotype. Unlike other books that try to push their author's agenda and attempting to be sly, this book uses all stereotypes equally thus tipping its hat to all of life's interesting characters we may encounter. I guess I ultimately appreciate the caricatures that it paints. Great job to Miller. Brilliant, loved it. It was very tongue in cheek and slightly farcical, but amusing nevertheless. I did see a spot of "The Men who stared at goats" (although in this book they were sheep) and the butler/lover reminded me hugely of the butler in The Birdcage (movie) from dress sense to accent, but that just made it cosier. I would have liked to find out exactly who Lola really was (but I think I know). Liam's real identity was left in question right to the last. I was also not quite sure what it turned out Ekekiel was up to either.Anyway, enjoyable, original and recommended.

Mildly amusing. Very Douglas Adam-ish.
