Description:

From the best author and lover in the known universe comes the (some say unofficial) sequel to one of the world’s most popular books.

Box-painter Richard Goddammitwheresmyointment Richards is thrown with a throwing throw into the deep end of weird when he stumbles across a portal to a strange and wonderful world full of evil ducks, Australian druids, and a mad, ginger-bearded dwarf who's angry at God for putting his knees on backwards.

Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords had this to say about it: "Give us a bit to read it and I'll give you a quote."

The Bible II, ‘Rick the chosen one’ written by Karl Burnett is a thoroughly compelling story of a quest of ‘Hobbit Ring’ proportions with similar dire challenges and consequences.

Karl Burnett, (of ‘Shortland Street fame’) displays a unique writing style whose quirks include clever plays on word repetition, instant leaps through time and tense…and sporadic bouts of a form of ‘literary Tourette’s’. These combine elegantly to provide a window into the mind of the author… who by some accounts was experimenting with a form of ‘deep emersion writing’, while penning this piece.
The method involves the artist purposely altering their red blood cell count, through the digestion of certain elements in order to achieve an altered state of consciousness.

We can only be grateful to Karl for making that huge personal sacrifice that placed him in physical danger, in order to bring to birth this important historical document that answers some of the questions that ‘left us hanging’ at its predecessor…The Bible I, like ‘where did the fabled VW Kombi van actually come from?’. The aftermath of this state left him with a disturbingly thorough knowledge of the ancient boy band ‘Wham’. We pray to Rick for Karl’s full recovery.

This book gave me closure…like a closed thing…since it’s closing.

This book in contrast to part one, helped me accept myself in the spirit of forgiveness, with all my imperfections…the way religion is supposed to be.
I can honestly say …(testify)…that somehow…this book taps into the universal psyche,(Maybe in the spirit of humour)to unite the world in P’s and harmony.
Now I know for sure…that somewhere out there is a Druid with an Australian accent that has a roll of cling wrap, for only me…

I chuckled with a chuckling chuckle.

If you like Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, you'll love this book. Not really informative, not much of it even makes sense, but very *expletive* funny. If you want to laugh, without knowing why, this book is for you.

I sniggered at the blurb. I chortled though the preview. I paid the 2 bucks and frequently laughed out loud as I read this book. Utter comic absurdity at its best, Rick the Chosen One is a hilarious ride from the ridiculous to the ridiculouser. Great work.
