¡Qué flash! Hendrix es un autor que no decepciona.

Esta es una novela delirante y muy cómica; totalmente herética y disparatada, no apta para religiosxs que tengan propensión a ofenderse. Me hizo acordar mucho a la serie "Preacher" en la tendencia a no tomar nada en serio, burlarse de absolutamente todo, y en lo grotesco de algunas escenas.

Les personajes son todes horribles y muy graciosxs; desde Minotauro negándose a la violencia física, a Nerón haciendo de abogado del diablo aprendiendo de los libros de Grisham, pasando por una monja que cada vez que reza por alguien esa persona se muere, hasta el Papa Francisco haciendo de referí en un partido de UNO. Satán es un pobre tipo que tiene que hacer su trabajo con un presupuesto paupérrimo, demonios que se alzan en huelga y líneas de gas sucias en las cuevas de fuego eterno. ¿Cómo no deprimirse?

Este libro presenta a les buenxs y a les malxs como bastante cuestionables. Hay, también, una reflexión realmente muy buena sobre por qué Dios creó el universo y a la humanidad y por qué Satán terminó siendo expulsado. Podríamos ponernos serixs y considerar... pero mejor divertirnos y escapar de la realidad y de la religión con este delirio.

“Smile, Satan loves you.”

Buen inicio de saga, aunque me quedé con sabor a poco; la novela se siente casi como un prólogo largo.

Me gusta mucho el modo de escribir del autor y la manera que tiene de desarrollar a sus personajes paulatinamente. Estimo que vamos a conocer mucho más de elles en el siguiente tomo.

Los momentos "terroríficos" me movilizaron pero el resto fue bastante lento. El final te deja queriendo comenzar con el siguiente libro YA.
