Summary - What if God were a feckless teenage boy named Bob?
‘You can’t leave Bob to run the planet on his own.’
‘He is God.’
‘He’s not much of a God.’
In the beginning, Bob created the heaven and the earth and the beasts of the field and the creatures of the sea, and twenty-five million other species (including lots of fanciable girls).
But mostly he prefers eating junk food and leaving his dirty clothes in a mouldering heap at the side of his bed.
When Bob plays with mortals, millions die. And every time he falls in love, earth erupts in natural disasters. So humankind is going to be very sorry indeed he ever ran into a beautiful, completely irresistible girl called Lucy.
OH MY GOSH. I want this book like crazy insanely bad. I even have a little list going in my head, so here goes. 1. it's Meg FREAKING Rosoff. 2. I seriously am in love with How I Live Now, so muh so that when I walk past my bookcase I can't help but reach out to touch it, even if looking at the cover makes me want to cry like a complete baby. 3. Remember that show, Joan of Arcadia? well, it wasn't all that amazing BUT the premise that the girl spoke to god and he was just regular people FASCINATED me. 4. I'm interested to see what this means for religion and how that translates in the book. 5. I too like eating jumk food and leaving dirty clothes laying around so I suspect me and Bob would be bff's. 6. MEG ROSOFF OMGGGGGGGGGG. 7. cover love, cover loooooooove!!! 8. crazy big thanks to Book Smugglers for bringing this to my attention!!! (psssst Anna, see you in NYC next week *explodes*)
