Book Overview
Don't call me a demon. I prefer the term Fallen Angel.
Everybody deserves a vacation, right? Especially if you have a pointless job like tormenting the damned. So who could blame me for blowing off my duties and taking a small, unauthorized break?
Besides, I've always wanted to see what physical existence is like. That's why I "borrowed" the slightly used body of a slacker teen. Believe me, he wasn't going to be using it anymore anyway.
I have never understood why humans do the things they do. Like sin--if it's so terrible, why do they keep doing it?
I'm going to have a lot of fun finding out

Rated 5 starsWonderful Book
I'm a teacher for 7th graders and this book was instantly flying off my shelf. The first student who read it is a reluctant reader, and he finished in a week. I have a line of other students who want to check it out. I enjoyed the main character and his observations about life. The tone is well honed humor and the overall message invokes a sense of sweetness about life. Enjoy.

Not so different from a regular teenage...

All of this is in the pursuit of earthly pleasures, but nothing works out quite the way our fallen angel hero plans. Beneath all the fish-out-of-water or demon-out-of-hell humor there...

Rated 5 starsExcellent read!
The cover of this book led me to expect a kind-of fun, light adventure, but it really isn't. Kiriel the demon longs for time away from Hell and takes over the human body of a slacker-boy named Shaun. Potentially a comic set up. But Kiriel brings with him thousands of years of living in Hell reflecting sorrow and grief back at the damned souls; he feels joy at first encountering the wonders of the world while fearing his...
