The Doofus and the Divine: The Second Coming… and other things to do over the summer by Darcy PhillipsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Poignant, funny, and satirical...
For most, nothing will be lost in translation here. The Doofus and the Divine: The Second Coming… and other things to do over the summer by Darcy Phillips is a parody of a biblical concept. It’s cleverly written and witty. This book is a satire, and a good one. It’s an entertaining, page-turning story that kept me engaged from the opening chapter. The duel core of the story is firstly about the friendship between Emmanuel and Oliver and secondly about the Second Coming of the Son of God. Apparently, he shows up in ‘an insignificant speck of a little dying town called Placard, in the boring half of Montana.’ Who knew? An oddball adventure yarn that comes highly recommended and gets a well-deserved five stars from me. Looking forward to reading more in this series.
