 This was a really fun, creative story that took the apocalypse/antichrist plot in a new and interesting way. The format made it a touch hard to read at times - there’s really no chapters, just days and then jumping section in between - so it was a little hard to find a good stopping point some times. Haven’t seen the TV show yet, but imagine I’ll probably enjoy it even more because I can see the story working even better as something watchable. Plus, David Tennant. I’d probably recommend this book to fans of Neil Gaiman or folks looking for a fun, light mythology type of read, but even thought I enjoyed it - hence the high rating - I’m not sure it quite lives up to the hype.

DNF around page 90. Just didn’t hold my interest, didn’t get the humor. Just boring. Sticking with just Neil Gaiman books going forward

"Where you found the real McCoy, the real grace and the real heart-stopping evil, was right inside the human mind."

It could have been way shorter without a problem and I would've liked it more.
