- Under rated sophomore book
I dont think this book sucks like some of the other reviewers, as well as its author seems to do the first couple pages.
In fact I really liked it, it was an interesting story with good characters to follow and that ennis flare that you just cant not like.
Its a story about a dude whose wife dies in child birth so he decides to kill god.
Thats all Ill say, read the story your self.

- An example of hatred toward Christians
I was first introduced to Garth Ennis work in Hellblazer, then from there to Preacher. I was of course a non-Christian at the time, so having the same kind of hatred he has for anything Christian, I fell into his writing style's "lap" so to speak. After coming back to the church, after reexamining the hate that pours from each page (no matter which comic he writes, whether we are talking about Goddess or True Faith or Hellblazer or Preacher) of his work, I was glad to throw them all away. Seeing this book, I am not surprised that it is another one of Mr. Ennis's work. He is, after all, one who holds a great hatred toward anyone Christian and anything Christian, especially fundamentalist Christian. If you believe in God, if you believe in Christ, as with Ennis' cliche again and again in his comic books, then you will be attacked, slandered, and beaten until your bloody in the face because that's just how Mr. ...

- Adolescent, but good
I'd agree with Benjamin D about this being a 'must buy' only for Ennis completists, but it's not as bad as he makes it out to be. There's some sharp humor, but a certain adolescent tone is evident; a lot of the story took me back to my own profane adolescence. So, if you read that book with that in mind, it works out well. It certainly doesn't stand up to his later work, but whose early work does?

- Blasphemous, yeah, but poor writing a much larger sin
Don't get me wrong, I love Garth Ennis' work. His stint on Hellblazer was great, and Hitman and Preacher are seminal works. I just don't believe that Garth hit his stride until Preacher came along, and the proof is here in True Faith. Although the story has elements that would appear later in Preacher (and other Ennis works) the story is very poorly written. The dialogue is terrible, and the story just sort of putters out in the end. Some scenes, like the protagonists brain-dead family's conversations, are a little funny but don't really seem to work. Yeah, it's blasphemous, but the writing is a far more worse sin. For Ennis completists only.
