Hell itself is comedic--you can never find a pen that works, you're always stepping in deep puddles, the radio only plays songs that you hate, the bar only serves Jägermeister--but life on earth can be surprisingly dark and involves a lot of child abuse, fair warning.

The short chapters, constant small reveals, and switching points of view kept me quickly turning the pages. It was messed up, but I liked it.

This book starts off slow, the development of hell was kind of confusing and the ending felt rushed. The hells characters developed and there was a slight plot twist. Overall the chapters jumping timeliness and characters was confusing.

• First half was better than the second half
• Concept is great, but the execution is a little all over the place 
• Cal's backstory was a little much
• Reminded me of 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, but better
• Definitely a heavy book
