"And God said, Let there be light; and there was light, but Eastern Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected."  There have been many interpretations of the Old Testament over the centuries but never one quite like this. Spike Milligan has rewritten, in his own inimitable style, many of the best-known stories of the Old Testament, featuring characters like King "my brain hurts" Solomon, the great oaf of a giant Goliath and the lesser-known crossword clue, Hushai the Archite. Believers and non-believers alike will enjoy this hilarious re-working, where the jokes, jests and jibes tumble over each other from Chapter One, Verse One until kingdom come.

About the Author

Spike Milligan was born in India in 1918, and received his first education in a tent in the Hyderabad Sindh desert. He then plunged into the world of show business, seduced by his first stage appearance, at the age of eight, in the nativity play of his Poona convent school. He began his career as a band musician, but has since become famous as a humorous scriptwriter and actor in both films and broadcasting. Spike's combined book sales total over 6 million copies, and he received an honorary CBE in 1992. He died in 2002.

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2010
I am a long time American Milligan fan. I had to give up my book collection of his memoirs, poetry and Goon scripts when I had to suddenly move to assist my aging parents and I couldn't afford to take them with me. Recently I needed a Spike fix. I found this book was available used/cheap and so I took the gamble. I couldn't have been more pleased! I am a non-practicing Jew, so the Bible is not something I have read. This is the way to do it! I admit there are many British references I don't get, but that's a small price to pay for a hearty laugh!! I miss you Spike and hope Heaven is a better place having you there!

Hilarious at times, but also tiresome. Latterday Milligan still has moments of brilliance.
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016
Actually, if you have read the original, you would be at a loss to say which is loonier. Believe it or not, some of the most bizarre bits are just elaborated on, and not made up.

Typical of Spike, this is a very funny book. The 5 stars though is for Awesome books. It's condition had been described as very good, but in actual fact it looks virtually brand new. It also arrived several days before the estimated date. Very happy.

Über Spike Milligan gehen die Meinungen auseinander. Wer sich aber auf seine Art zu schreiben als Leser einlässt, wird belohnt. Die Sendung kam übrigens ausgezeichnet verpackt aus Übersee.
