Uhm... It's actually not what it's title leads you to believe. According to the descripion, it's a satirical novel set during the Depression, and a Semifinalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. "The Dirty Parts of the Bible is a humorous novel set during the Great Depression---a rollicking tale of love and liquor, preachers and prostitutes, trains and treasure, sure to appeal to fans of Water for Elephants, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Mark Twain, and Johnny Cash."

Is it any good? I don't know that. Some reviewers found it entertaining and funny and offbeat. OTOH some reviewers thought it was too cute, some thought it was too offensive. Novelists can't win!
