This Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.

Through that common storytelling device of the love triangle, Stockwell is able weave in the social commentary that is the true point of the series.Ben is a miscreant, a working-class kid who never should have wound up as a lawyer at all.
