The Management Style of the Supreme Beings by Tom Holt

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When the Supreme Being of Earth and his son J decided it's time to retire, they sell the rights to the planet to the Venturi brothers.

The Venturi's move in, set up a new system and figure they'd sit back and rake in the cash.

However... they failed to take into account one Jersey Thorne, an adventure seeking archeologist, The Supreme Being's second son, Kevin, and most importantly... Santa Claus.

I found this book enjoyable, with just the right level of humor. I can best describe the style as if Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore and Douglas Adams got together... this book would be the result.

This was my first experience with author Tom Holt and I might just have to look for more in the future.

Are you interested in paperback form? Because I can bring a stack of Holts this weekend if you want to borrow hardcopy :)

(Also, have you ventured into Jasper Fforde yet? More Holt than Pratchett, VERY literary humour. Much fun.)

That's a wonderful offer but right now I'm going to ask to hold that thought. I have quite a few physical books in my TBR pile I need to go through first.

and I will look into Jasper Fforde per your recommendation.
