Something is about to go wrong. Very wrong. But what can you expect when the Supreme Being decides to get away from it all for a few days, leaving his naturally inquisitive son to look after the cosmic balance of things? A minor hiccup with a human soul and a welding machine soon leads to a violent belch, and before you know it the human condition - not to mention the lemming condition - is tumbling down the slippery slope to chaos. There's only one hope for mankind. And that's being optimistic. Only Human is a wildly imaginative comic fantasy from one of Britain's sharpest funniest writers. |

Review
by Vex (190101) Rating (5/10) Review
by Vex Only Human is about a 'slight' mix up in heaven, when God goes away to do a spot of fishing with his son 'Jay', leaving his other son, 'Our Kev' to look after things. 'Our Kev' decides to have a bit of a play on Dads computer, 'Mainframe', which just happens to be in control of the Universe... Some Soul/body swapping occurs and before you know it the whole world's turned upside down! There
are some funny bits, and the story does keep you fairly entertained,
but I felt that it could've been a lot better. I spent a lot of
the time thinking about how I hadn't read Good
Omens in a while and I really should dig that out again, which
I guess isn't a great recommendation for this book! |
