Ok, I'll be honest: I did not like this book. It's pretty ridiculous. I don't know if its intention is being ironic or religious, God and his “criatures” seemed like a big joke to me. And mental illness/suicide is a difficult topic to deal with, the writer did not use it in a good form.

I just finished reading The Second Coming (John Niven) and it talks about God too. But in a much better way. Niven knows how to be sarcastic and critical at the same time. And McGough don't.


I laughed with the variety of characters and the references (The Trump one is funny considering I'm Mexican). BUT I thought it would be more funny and entertaining, sadly its absurdity wins. And the final was not strong enough to me. I'm not interesting in reading the next books.


The good thing is that is a very short book and I read it in two or three hours. Probably, it's one of those books other people will find more enjoyable than me.

Firstly, the gorgeous colour and imagery of the cover drew me to want to read this particular book and so I was sent it digitally to review.

This book really is an interesting read, there are supernatural characters from witches to vampires and fairies as well as gnomes and elves who are all seemingly watching over the humans from somewhere with G.O.D and Lucifer actually working together, which is shocking!
However the reason they are watching over the humans is apparent as the story evolves and we find that each person we are introduced to for whatever differing reasons no longer wants to live.
The book may seem fantasy to begin with but touches on real issues around the subject of death, suicide, mental health and the stability in the way we view the world and how we each view things different to others.
I recommend this book if you want to read something powerful and different to the normal.
