Editorial Review:
The twisted and surreal version of the story of Jesus Christ set in a bizarre version of modern day Earth that has been ravaged by war and cannibal zombie plagues, where the landscape is slowly mutating into meat and human flesh is transforming into machine. The novel follows Christ's twelve apostles. However, in this world the apostles are pimps, necrophiliacs, skinheads, and other assorted freaks. And they have no desire to follow Jesus Christ on his crusade to save humanity whatsoever. So this novel follows the lives of these never-been apostles on their separate epic journeys into the bizarre. An awkward and chaotic work of art that is like nothing you've ever seen.

Rating:  - For the Tormented Junior High Wannabe Punk
Edgy in that annoying Lisa Lampanelli way. Its like if you took a really long mad-lib and filled it with the word f*** and other "shocking" expletives. I would have probably thought this was a good book back in my angsty middle school years; however, if you are an adult over the age of 18 and have an appreciation for satire and REAL envelope pushers, dont waste your money.

Rating:  - Vodka IS magical
This is the first Bizzaro novel I have ever read and it was probably the best novel I've read in years. From masturbating midget elephants to jesus mutating into a cyborg then back again for good ol zombie violence...This is an awesome read for anybody who feels slightly psychotic, insane, weird, or just bored with the crap being put on shelves these days. THis novel opened my eyes up to a whole new world of literature; and as a writer I've read and written alot, so thats saying much.
Rating: - Terrible book
The idea on the back cover is intriguing, but the introduction states that this book was written before the author was 18 years old. Terrible book, a lot of mindless cursing which does not effectively cover up the mindless plot. Truly written by a teenager.
Rating: - Electonical Jesus Fun!
NOTE: This book does not take place in "an apocalyptic near-future." It takes place in another universe.
This was the first CM3 book I've read. If you read the description and don't like where it's headed, don't buy the book. If none of what is described appeals to you, don't buy it hoping it will flesh itself out and actually be more in depth, it's not. Zombies, unlikable apostles, Jesus is basically a nonentity until the last few chapters, making only brief appearances. The stars are the ... Read More
Rating: - "It's empty buttnut"
It was distasteful, erratic and simply made no goddamn sense whatsoever. CM3 writes some of the best fiction of today by a land slide.
