I, Lucifer: Finally, the Other Side of the Story

this is my idea of what true literature is. this is the kind of book that makes you feel like you have spent your time doing something worthwhile. it is both entertaining and thought provoking, and i found myself having to stop reading to mull over an idea presented. the book is written in a high grade of english without coming across as pretentious or trying too hard. the words flow naturally, there is a great rythem and cadence to it, and it is a fun story. the main character's name is an anagram of the author's name, which i thought was a nice touch, and it is an interesting excercise in speculation of how lucifer might act and think. also, throughout the book, lucifer might say something, but being the father of lies, he always adds "oh, but i am only joking" and you don't know if he really is or is not, true to his nature. definatley worth reading. and i feel i have to add that anyone offended by this book (i don't see how you could be, but...) takes themselves too seriously and is missing a fundamental fact...this book is fiction, nothing more than story. you don't have to like it, it's not for everyone, but there is no need to take offence.

I really enjoyed this book! Told from the perspective of an outcast Lucifer, it's the story of his last chance to get back into heaven and is filled with humor and lots of pop culture references. You find yourself pulling for him towards the end.

Christmas gift for my granddaughter.

One of my all time favorite books. Funny, easy read and very entertaining! I read it at least twice a year.

Good Omens is one of my all-time favorite books. Thus the concept of Lucifer giving his version of events had great appeal.Unfortunately, although there are a number of excellent points about the book, including the delights of "wanking off" for the first 24 hours of luck feels experiment with in having a human body, one is left after awhile with a sense of needing a plot device in addition to the rather no story of the king of Hell spending a month in asuicide's body. I kept waiting for the something more to happen. It didn't.
