The second half lost its momentum, but not enough to put me off to the author. I'll pick him up again. ( ) This is a very original story about, well the devil. What if the devil does what he does because he actually wants the best for for the human race, and considers earth his planet not God's. Up Jumps the Devil takes this idea and follows it through history. It also tracks 3 individuals who sell their soul to them for fame and fortune assigning them to different career paths with mixed results. This is a very original entertaining book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A stunningly imaginative, sharp, funny, and slyly tender novel featuring the Devil himself, John Scratch. He's made of wood. He cooks an excellent gumbo. Cows love him. And he's the world's first love story . . . and the world's first broken heart. Meet the darkly handsome, charming John Scratch, aka the Devil. Ever since his true love, a fellow fallen angel named Arden, decided that Earth was a little too terrifying and violent, John Scratch has been trying to lure her back from the forgiving grace of Heaven. Though neither the wonders of Egypt nor the glories of Rome were enough to keep her on Earth, John Scratch believes he's found a new Eden: America. John Scratch capitalizes on the bounty of this arcadia as he shapes it into his pet nation. Then, one dark night in the late 1960s, he meets three down-on-their-luck musicians and strikes a deal. In exchange for their souls, he'll grant them fame, wealth, and the chance to make the world a better place. Soon, the trio is helping the Devil push America to the height of civilization--or so he thinks. But there's a great deal about humans he still needs to learn, even after spending so many millennia among them. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
