Interesting concept, but it was lost in pretentious writing, rambling tangents and way too many brackets. The main character’s name is Declan Gunn, an anagram of the author’s name which told me everything I needed to know right away.
Did I read the whole thing even though it was crap? Yes. Why? Because I thought, like a shithead boyfriend, that if I persisted maybe he would come through for me eventually. He didn’t.

I don't think I was in the right mood. Maybe it was trying tooooo hard? I think I'll try and get back to it at some point.

What a great book. I really enjoyed it. Lucifer is funny, flawed and just as messed up as all of us. The book has a real cynical grasp of human nature and is full of funny lines:
"Astonishingly gorgeous people are rarely good, for the simple reason they don't need to be. Hell's absolutely stuffed with the souls of ex-stunnas and hunks, whereas Heaven's been in a more or less perpetual state of talent-famine since human beings first started biting the dust. "
I liked this line too:
"Hell is two things: the absence of God and the presence of time. Infinite variations on that theme."
Nicely done.

This story is like trying to follow a schizophrenic on molly with the attention span of a toddler. If it wasn't for Lucifer's one liners, topes, and side notes about things like The Ten Commandments, vaginas, pedophiles, sex, the Garden of Eden, and “making deals with the devil...” I would have stopped reading very early on.

I used three years to read this story and I'm so desperate to like it. The mythos are interesting enough and I got spoiled the ending which is SO INTERESTING IN CONCEPT. but the Writing is just, so excruciatingly painful - I was doubting myself Bc I thought it's my English second language ability in lacking. But nope. It's just the writer couldn't write a coherent sentence without trying to make it into a flowery wreck.
I went into this trying to look for a good Lucifer story. This was before I found Lucifer the TV show, so yay I don't see any reason to finish this anymore so bye.
