A review by mcfade28
God Knows by Joseph Heller

3.0

A satirical novel in Joseph Heller's usual style from the perspective of King David (as in David and the Goliath). I'm not religious, but upon doing some googling after I finished, I realised that the novel covers a lot of Biblical events, such as his infidelity and infighting between his children. Similar to Heller's other work, it basically covers a lot of entertaining rambling about aging, his sex life (or lackthereof) and world weariness.

I enjoyed it well enough but I felt it covered a lot of the same ground as his other novels, particularly Good as Gold and Something Happened. The latter at least felt like a much stronger novel.

I believe I just have one last Heller to go before I've read all his novels. Hoping it's a great one!
