Heaven

I listened to the podiobook of this two years ago and gave it 3 stars; rereading it in print, though, I had some more thoughts and enjoyed it more.

Friends Daniel and Kate die, and go to heaven. Not all is right in Heaven, though, so they're sent on a mission from God to go through different heavens and find out what's what. On their travels, they encounter a few different pantheons of gods, and kinda sorta start a few Apocalypses on their way.

Lafferty captures the voices of both protagonists fairly well - they're inexperienced early-twentysomethings and sound like it - and there's a light-hearted, humourous tone to the story that prevents the somewhat-serious topic of life after death from getting bogged down.
