"How to Be a Saint" is a hilarious book, while being very informative. As a Protestant, I went into this book knowing very little about Saints. I learned a lot while being entertained. The author and narrator are very witty. I laughed out loud many times! And who knew that there were so many Saints! I also found the quotes from past Popes interesting. It was a nice quick listen.

Thank you Netgalley and Tantor Audio for allowing me to listen to this ALC.

How to Be a Saint, written and narrated by Kate Sidley, was a quick, hilarious, but also educational book about Sainthood and the Catholic Faith that I really enjoyed!
I did not know much about this book or its author before checking it out, but I really enjoyed it. This book reviews ways to become saints, steps to Sainthood, stories (and legends) about Saints, and different aspects and Sacraments of the Catholic church. The title does say that it may be considered mildly sacreligious which I think I would have to agree with (there were definitely parts where I felt bad for laughing!) but I also think that it is helpful to find humor when we need to! As a cradle and practicing Catholic I definitely feel like I learned more than I expected too. Like I didn't know all squares are rhombuses! Sure I knew they were all rectangles, but rhombuses? Also I have definitely been pronouncing some of these names wrong. Sorry Saint Joachim!
Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher, author, (and narrator) for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

I love when the author reads their own book and is really, really good. I read the print version of this and thought it was wonderfully subversive and hilarious, but it's even funnier on audio.
There is a surprising amount of real information, and I learned a lot about the Catholic Church. But the narrative is tongue in cheek and the facts are easy to understand and digest.
So if you want to become a saint, this is the perfect guide.
