According to Wikipedia, Paul is the old guy and Allison is the cow.

the ex-gay guy is Paul.
the comedian is Jon.
the old guy is Stephen.
the old lady is Amy.
God is “Stew the Meat Man”.
the civil rights guy is “Onyx”.

my gut tells me Evie is the cow & that Allison is the soulmate (though i’d be pretty pissed off about that choice if i was Evie-LOL) i def. don’t think the sports guy is Paul-that fan guy & 1 other guy were the only 2 i didn’t know-1 of them must be the name i didn’t recognize & the other must be Eric aka “Bobby”.

From what I could tell, the Old Guy was Stephen, and the guy at the football stadium was definitely Paul. You could only hear it a few times, but when you could, you definitely could. Not sure who the Cow and the Soulmate were, although I’ve heard that the Cow is Evie, which means that maybe the Soulmate was Allison. I’m only up to Chapter 5, though – I’m pacing myself.

So I went into BEST BUY this morning around 11:40am, and THE BOOK WAS ALREADY FOR SALE!!! I just popped in to look around for the audiobook, which I found out was out by this wonderful website that I am addicted to! You guys rock.

Anyway, just as I was walking out, there it was! The real book, not the audiobook. And it was 25% off. I bought it immediately and am now flipping through it, it is amazing. There are hilarious little reader-interactive things to fill in like quizzes (for example, when it asks your religion the choices are either A: Catholic or B: Other)

So I am absolutely giddy looking at this book right now that I was desperately waiting until Tuesday to come out. But Best Buy has it for sale already!

The old guy HAS to be Stephen. I love the sports guy – wish I knew which person played him.

And I can’t decide which woman is Allison Silverman and which one is Evie. I’d say, knowing Stephen, he’d give his wife the soulmate part and have his Exec. Producer play the cow. :D

There isn’t going to be an unabridged version. The abridged version is all that’s available. I handle a lot of audiobooks for my job, so if there was going to be an unabridged version available anytime soon, I’d know about it.

On amazon it says this is an abridged version. Anyone know if the release of an unabridged version is planned?
I’m assuming the versions on iTunes & audible (both of which won’t let me buy it because I don’t live in the U.S., @#&%!!) are also abridged?

I thought Mrs. Colbert was the soulmate but having listened to it again, now I’m not sure.
I think Mort Sinclair is at the very end of the first part (if you have the Itunes version) in the Hollywood section. The old guy I’m pretty sure is Mr. Colbert.
