I read so much of the sample out loud to my family that they kicked me out of the house. My mother later called to apologize, ask for the sample for her own kindle, and offered to bring me a tomato sandwich (probably unrelated to everything else, but I'm never certain.).I'm dropping everything else to read this right now.Finished, and I think I'll let Mark Twain write my review for me:"But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner tha...
5🌟 Well done! *chef’s kiss*
There is no way to accurately describe this book, it’s the kind of book that you just need to experience for yourself! The best description I can come up with is a cross between Palahniuk’s Damned/Doomed and Wong’s John Dies at the End and a dash of Supernatural and it makes for one hell of a killer combination. I had no idea what a wild and crazy ride I was in for when I started this book, and was it ever wild and crazy. It was also both hilarious and horrifying, it had me laughing one second a...
Grady Hendrix is fast becoming a new favourite author. His comedy horror style is superb and feels so cinematic that I hope films are made of his books.
This is not the author’s best book. I’ve read two others where he admirably walks the tightrope between horror and satire. Not many people can do that. This one tips over entirely to satire, and also, Neil Gaiman’s done the dysfunctional Lucifer better. 3 stars + one extra because I share many pet peeves with the author.
I liked this book. It was better than okay. At the end was a personal message from Hendrix stating that he had fun writing it but has since then written better books. I'd likely agree. I was a bigger fan of one of his later books but this one was definitely worth the read and had its funny parts. Looking forward to reading his new one.
Top-of-mind: If you're easily offended or seriously religious, this book's not for you.Grady Hendrix tries to do what Christopher Moore has done so well, and while his work's not on a par with Moore's, Satan Loves You is a fun read. The writing and editing are at times spotty (though formatting problems are generally limited to the occasional lack of white space where there should be a break for a change of scene), but Hendrix's capacity to riff in text on a descriptive passage can suck you in u...
I wrote this book but still I am always surprised by just how awesome it is. I have used it to convince a rampaging bull not to attack, to help a bear enter early hibernation, to hypnotize an enormous bee and to cure a child with a high fever.
Have you ever wondered why Satan is so bad.In "Satan Loves You" we hear his side of the story.Hell is not all it is supposed to be, in fact it is breaking down and literally going to hell.Enjoy!
You will probably enjoy this if you appreciate absurd humor, pop-culture references and/or have a strong distaste for hipsters.
This sympathetic devil story was possibly the best book I've read this year. I picked this up because the shameless self promotion of the author was as hilarious as it was charming. Turns out, that's how I viewed the entire book: hilarious and charming. You just really feel for Satan. It's impossible not to. Not sure what that says about us but there it is.Definitely the best take on a relatable Satan I have ever read or seen. Simply an awesome book that you will not regret reading.
If you are into bizarre - then this is a book for you. I've long loved Grady Hendrix and his absurd horror novels and this one was a real treat - while not my favorite of his - it had the most fun imagining of hell that I've ever read or seen. Satan has been struggling for eons - there simply isn't enough money to keep hell running at the standard it was used to. The demons are dispirited, it's becoming rundown, and Satan has had enough. He fired Death in a fit of rage, is trying to find a fight...
Hilarious! I do not often laugh out loud at books, not at most movies or TV shows for that matter. A smirking huff is usually the most that I will audibly emit. In this context, I must reveal that I laughed out loud at multiple points while reading this book, in a variety of settings and company, starting with the opening pages. If memory serves, it was a throw-away line where an angel is telling Satan to back to hell and "enjoy your ham, and your eggs…” or something to that effect that first di...
TW: Sexual Assault MentionedEdgy in all the wrong ways, this "dark comedy" feels outdated and amateurish, awkward and uncomfortable more than anything close to funny, engaging, or compelling. It's a far cry from Grady Hendrix's penomenal later works, filled with typos and grammatical errors, casual racism, slurs, unsettling questions of consent, victim-blaming, bad women's anatomy (apparently you can tell if a woman's hymen is intact, thereby proving she is a virgin, through an ultrasound), and
Disclosure: Somehow I got a free copy of this book from somewhere and I decided what the heck, I’ll review it in thanks. Smile – Satan loves you!My Synopsis: Satan is having a rough millennium or so – it’s been a good 2000 years since he last came up with a new torture, everything is falling apart, his operating budget is on a shoestring, Heaven is constantly on his back about one thing or another, Death messed up and Satan fired him in frustration and now the dead are staying alive and backing
3.5-4 stars. I'd put this one in the Bizarro category. Basically, Satan is the harried manager/CEO of hell. He's burnt out (pun intended), beset by minions who are either on strike or uninspired and he's try to keep things running on a shoe string budget. He is so frazzled he even fires Death which wreaks all sorts of havoc on Earth. Also, since Death was to be Hell's champion in their upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship with Heaven, Satan's kind of screwed as he can't find a replacement. Th...
Blasphemous.Outrageous.Hilarious.These words are still not adequate to describe what was written in this book. The devil is facing mid-life crisis. And hell is on the verge of corporate take over from heaven. Angels are conspiring against the Prince of lies. Real estate is the name of the game. And we are thrown into a crazy outlandish plot that is nonsensical, satiric, and crazy ( times 10). I was laughing my head off the entire time I was reading this book. And at times horrified.Meet Satan of...
What I love about Hendrix is his ability to take something so terrifying and serious and make it laugh out loud hilarious and also thought provoking.I don’t really want to talk about the book too much because it will spoil the laughs, but I will give a warning....hipsters....beware😈😉
Hats off to Marc for the recommendation. Just what I needed to cleanse my palate. That cover is all kinds of bad, but this book is all kinds of hilarious fun. An overabundance of celebrities and characters packed into 300 pages. I swear I haven't had so much laughter pains from a book in ages. My favorite celebrity spotlight goes to Nancy Grace. Grady Hendrix channeled Nancy Grace to the T. I could see her hard look and hear her nasally voice every time she had a scene. Disclaimer: I did n...
Satan is going through some very bad times. The dude hasn't invented a new torture for a millennia and the smarmy heavenly host is trying to takeover hell. Full of hilarity and bizarreness, it is hard not to feel sympathy for Satan. Even though it's my second read I enjoyed it just as much. If you are not religiously sensitive or a hipster you must give it a try.
