It is entertaining. I am about 50 pages in and it is kind of an American Terry Pratchett kind of subtle humor.

It is entertaining and it also supports Greengunner the author. If you like a humorous mockumentry type read.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Idol-S-C ... sr=1-2-ent
In a twisted yet somehow familiar version of America where militias, doomsday cults and self proclaimed Prophets are as commonplace as gas stations and fast food restaurants, The American Idol Company is born. After outraging millions across the world and coming dangerously close to starting World War Three, The American Idol Company is poised to become the next great religion, but the looming threat of disaster is never far behind. Their goal: resurrect Idolatry as a prominent religion and get rich manufacturing and selling Idols. They publicly promote their fledgling company as if it were a legitimate religion and they themselves Prophets. The company becomes quickly and wildly successful but outrages millions across the country and around the world. Operating under the belief that scandal and controversy will increase sales, Augustus and Desmond manage to insult everyone from the Pope to the Ayatollah, and come dangerously close to starting World War 3. Meanwhile, a shadowy group of religious fundamentalists manipulate a naive young man named Robert General. Robert, a repressed homosexual and member of the Sweethaven Chapter of the Righteous American Nazis, is used as a pawn in a plot to murder Augustus Owen Dean and destroy The American Idol Company. The looming threat of disaster comes to fruition in the city of Galapagos, Texas, when Rob General, confused and drug-addled, flies a small explosive laden airplane into The American Idol Company headquarters.

This book is NOT for the easily offended, but it IS for lovers of wit and satire.

"Our own published author" should have been enough. I was just wondering if you had a reason you were enjoying it as you explained.

It is big shoes to put him in and not there yet but it is the style of Prachett and Addams. It has almost the same story arc and characters, but not the meter.
