The management style of the Supreme Beings

Quite fun! Like one of those 3D castle jigsaws, this book assembles a collection of two-dimensional stereotypes—jaded deity, bumbling semideity, rugged explorer, corporate politics from the cutthroat down to the petty—into an unexpectedly rich construction. Holt keeps a good pace through the entire work, juggling funny, cynical, thoughtful, depressing, and infuriating with kindness and decency.

A note for fellow rational beings: although the pantheon is (mostly) the christian one, that's not necessarily an especially important aspect of the book. The Dad and Jay (C.) characters are rather dull minor ones with relatively few appearances; all the interesting characters are human, some in the Hell environs and some on our well-known Earth. Oh, and one more nonhuman interesting one, but no spoilers.
