The Dirty Parts of the Bible
The Dirty Parts of the Bible: A Novel | Sammy Conner
'Sweet and funny.' —Kirkus Discoveries It's 1936 and 19-year-old Tobias Henry is stuck in the frozen hinterlands of Michigan. Tobias is obsessed with two things: God and girls. Mostly girls. But being a Baptist preacher's son, he can't escape God. When his father is blinded in a bizarre accident, Tobias rides the rails to Texas in search of a lost fortune. Along the way, he is initiated into the hobo brotherhood by Craw, a ribald yet wise black man. Obstacles arise in the form of a saucy prostitute, a giant catfish, and a flaming boxcar. But when he meets Sarah, a tough farm girl under a dark curse, he finds out that the greatest challenge of all is love.

I'm not too sure about this book. At points, it was hilarious, sweet and charming. At other points, it was just meh. I didn't know the Bible story that it was based on, so that might have been a bit of the issue. All that being said, it was an amusing read and Craw was probably the craziest character I've ever met.

⭐⭐⭐

This book has some gems in it. I like the idea of a larger universe, and things that we cannot necessarily see!
