About this listen

Charged with gross incompetence, Satan is fired from his job as prince of Hell and exiled to that most terrible of places: English suburbia. Forced to live as a human under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof, the dark lord not only has to contend with the fact that no one recognizes him or gives him the credit he deserves but also has to put up with the bookish war-gamer next door and the voracious man-eater upstairs.

Heaven, Hell, and the city of Birmingham collide in a story that features murder, heavy metal, cannibalism, armed robbers, devious old ladies, Satanists who live with their mums, gentlemen of limited stature, dead vicars, petty archangels, flamethrowers, sex dolls, a blood-soaked school assembly, and way too much alcohol.

This was fantastic - a joyous romp. It reminded me of 'The Screwtape Letters' by C. S.Lewis which I read as a teenager. As I listened on audiobook - I have to say that the narrator chosen (Matthew Lloyd Davies) was perfect.

The book appeals to all ages and is just great fun.My favourite parts were the school setting and the preparation for the dinner party but I won't say more than that in case it spoils it for anyone else.

I was delighted to see that there is a whole series of these books by the same author and they are definitely on my list. Just the first 3 available on Audible at the moment.

Easily a 5 star listen in all areas.

I loved it!

Bunch of loveable weirdos characters. I’m on book 6 of the series and really enjoy it. Here and there have to laugh out loud which is not something I do very often.

Funny easy listen

I randomly stumbled across this book and gave it a go on a whim and I am so glad I did. I don't often find myself laughing out loud! Give it a go, you will not be dissapointed.

Laugh out loud comic story. Narrated with wonderful Black Country accents.

If you take religion very seriously, the idea that the Afterlife is really a mega business corporation with all the targets, business meetings and profit margins this involves, then this might not be the book for you. However, for me it was a real comedy treat.

Irreverent almost to the point of blasphemy

Satan (Clovenhoof) is fired and forced to live with humans in Birmingham. As with all Heide Goody and Iain Grant books, this takes a mad idea, turns it into something funny, sad and totally random and makes a good listen. Full of characters from the religon, history and humans living their lives it is an adventure not to be missed. I loved the characters even the "bad" ones, they were all totally different but came together to make the story. An enjoyable listen.
