Up Jumps the Devil by Michael Poore

3.0

This was a funny and at times thought provoking book that portrays The Devil as a well-intentioned person who has been trying to make the world a better place. Trouble is, he doesn't completely understand humans, though at times he seems to understand us better than we think. He's also nursing a broken heart as his first love, the angel Arden, was scared off by the brutality of Earth and instead preferred to return to Heaven. As part of his world improvement plan, he strikes a deal with a folk group during the 60's and this book details the repercussions for all involved. If you are a fan of Christopher Moore you'll probably like this book.
