The writing itself is strange and fantastic, but the characters aren't entirely likable and the plot isn't entirely satisfying. I'd recommend folks check out some of his other work if this doesn't hit the spot. (  ) tankexmortis | Feb 6, 2009 | I read this because of two things. 1. An ex-gf recommended it and I'm a sucker for literary dames. 2. Every title this guy has is awesome. It's not awesome, but it is fun and different. I like things about the end of the world and about religion. I don't like some of the crap philosophy and some of the stilted writing. It gets a little old and many of the diversions in the writing are just distractions from the story. I won't be a fan of the author, but it was nice to have tried this flavor of ice cream. (  ) snarkhunt | Aug 30, 2007 | This book is absolute fantasy. the story just seems to follow what totally extreme ideas the author thinks of next. I would liken it to a horror/pornographic version of Alice in Wonderland, but not as good. I feel the author is purely aiming for shock value (Hence the picture on the cover!) nasherr | Dec 17, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
God hates you. All of you. He closed the gates of Heaven and wants you to rot on Earth forever. Not only that, he is repossesing your souls and feeding them to a large vagina-like machine called the Walm - an interdimensional doorway that brings His New Children into the world. He loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed, and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and there's nothing you can do about it ...
Featuring: a narrator who sees his body from a third-person perspective, a man whose flesh is dead but his body parts are alive and running amok, an overweight messiah, the personal life of the Grim Reaper, lots of classy sex and violence, and a motley group of squatter punks that team up with the devil to find their place in a world that doesn't want them anymore.

I was amused and disturbed in equal measure. Its funny, irreverent, full of gratuitous sex and violence and packed with loads of interesting ideas. I loved the different races (the silence preying on those who make sound) and little asides like the human built Heaven 2 built on horses souls. However I did feel the plot didn't quite bind it together and lost it a bit in the middle, also some of the minor characters could of been more interesting. (
