Reviews by John

Found this pair of book inscriptions:



After careful reading of the contents of this book, I am convinced it is either the erratic ramblings of an ignorant and uninformed person; or the deliberate devilness (??) of a perverse mind.

John A. Gurney

I have read the Bible from cover to cover three times.

After reading the book "The Bible Unmasked," I consider reading this one by the same author a waste of time. I, therefore have never, and never intend to, read a word that is in it.

  3. Haha, I love this! Regardless of the topic or the book, That's awesome that he put a "review" in a book he never read. Maybe I should start doing this.
