About this listen
Fifteen years after losing most of his family to a devastating, pudding-related tragedy, Simon Debovar has settled into a life of self-imposed exile from the stinking, selfish morass of humanity. Content that his daily highlights will include hazelnut coffee, a long bath, and the occasional jar of olives, his life is completely upturned by the discovery that his ornate living room carpet is the deciding factor in a bet between God and Satan.
When mysteriously well-timed carpet thieves deprive him of the crucial heirloom, Simon is forced to leave his hermit's existence behind for a world of angels, demons, witches, and immortals.
And then it gets complicated.

Excellent fun find. Very clever and well paced
Well written and performed. A good premise and funny to boot. Excellent character archs as well. I wish he had more to offer as clever, engaging and funny are so hard to come by.

Lots of fun
This is magical silly fun.
Hopefully everyone can appreciate it for what it is and just enjoy the story.
Very well performed, nicely paced, make you think cliff hangers and lots of laughs.

Humour
Laugh out loud funny. Twists and turns very cleverly thought out. Good entertainment without being heavy going.

Enjoyable story
This is a fun story although it’s a bit cliched in some areas. Good narration, despite the accents haha

A real treat!
Great story, well narrated. I picked this up looking for something to fill the gap between my Bunny McGarry and Rivers of London fixes and wasn’t expecting much but this was awesome! Wish there was more!

It's a light-hearted, hilarious read. There are so many references and twists to the story. It's very enjoyable!

Unexpected Gem
I really liked this story. I've read a LOT of comic fantasy. It's my favourite genre. I got this because it was included, but now I'm a fan. This is quirky and clever. The narration is pretty good overall (some of the female characters voices were a bit grating). If you are a fan of Pratchett, Gaimen or Rankin I think you will enjoy this book. I hope the author does more of this genre.

Like Douglas Adams but even funnier
I laughed multiple times out loud. The characters are all fantastic and the narrator's voices are hilarious. I sincerely there is a sequel.
