3.5 stars really. This is a very funny book, not quite as good as the first, but pretty good. Because I am a Jesus follower, I struggle with the irreverent nature of this book. Having said that, if you liked the first book, you will like this one.

Still an interesting story but not as good as the first one. A bit preachy in parts.

I actually liked this one better than the first book, kept me chuckling much more and it was hard not to finish in as few sittings as possible.

A cast of returning characters from the first book and the same snappy dialogue made this a pretty great read. Not the startling, slap-in-the-face read that the first book was but very enjoyable nonetheless. I'm looking forward to continuing tales of the almost-apocalypse.

This was an improvement over the first book, it had a lot of very funny moments. But I have to give it 3 stars because there were just too many plot lines to follow at the same time. Each chapter jumped back to a different plot line. This may work ok if you read the book in one sitting, but if you only read a few chapters a day, it becomes hard to follow. I am still looking forward to reading more in the series, so I did like this.

Even funnier than Mercury Falls and that was the funniest book I'd read in a long time.

Gotta take one star off this for some sexist comment about angels not choosing physical forms because women have "complicated emotions" . Firstly what has physical form got to do with emotions, secondly, do women have complcated emotions? No women I know do. How about "angels usually chose male forms because it was much easier through most of history to be respected" then you can have what every author wants, a justification to have a disproportionatly male cast and and not being weird and sexist about it.

Not quite as good as the previous, but still fun.
