A review by brhillmann
I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan
3.0
Crests and breaks with humor and dry passages in a retelling or the falling of Satan form Lucifer's perspective.
Satan gets a chance at redemption if he can withstand 30 days in a human body, adding humanity to the eternal damnation he feels. Zany antics ensue, some misogyny thrown in for laughs, but Eve is supposed to have come out better off (she trots around Eden using her brains, but there is a righteously awful rape-y scene involved, so it cancels out IMO, for the apologism and slut-shaming).
There were a lot of fun highlights, and a lot that really left me wanting. I would re-read it if I was bored and without anything else to read, and may yet again to decide if I would fully recommend it. I wouldn't not recommend it.
