"How then, does Wood’s first novel measure up against his own exacting criteria? The answer is: remarkably well. Like Wood’s criticism, The Book Against God is full of ideas, irony, and intelligence."--The Miami Herald
“Wood has written his own big-thing novel, his first, which has to do with literature and faith but is also, happily, laden with wit, forceful images, and English eccentrics."--The New York Times Book Review
"Intellectually stimulating and amusing first novel [Wood] mixes serious questions of theology and family relationships so tactfully, cunningly even, that they go down as smoothly as the scotch Tom keeps hidden in the bottle under his bed."--The Washington Post
