Death: A Life

I loved this book. It is a hilarious take on the begining of time. God, Jesus, and a host of "untouchables" are given funny quirks and even sound dumb at times. It is not THAT bad though. If you have a sense of humor you will LOVE this book.

Loved this book, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh. The book is Death's memoir in which he talks about his life as Death. It covers his relationship with his mother Sin and his Father Satan. He also talks about his addiction to life and his time in rehab for it. I loved the section on creation as well as his relationship with God.

Hysterical! Thanks Colleen!

If you enjoy mocking organized religion, than this is the book for you. Otherwise, STAY AWAY. With that being said. This is probably one of the most fantastic books I have ever read.

This is a phenomenal book from an unexpected point of view... The angel of Death, himself speaks out on his life and his tale of taking lives.

I loved this book! I read it in a day. It was very witty in a rather sick and twisted way. Death meets with George Pendle for a casual interview where he recounts his life story, er, existence. He sets the record straight. It's a hilarious reconstruction of philosophy, religion, history, psychology, evolutionary/biological science, and classical studies. Great for the intellectual...more

I can't say enough nice things about this book. Quite honestly, if you ever wondered what life would be like for Death - go no further. This is a witty, well researched and brilliant tome written in the first person perspective of Death himself. From his youthtful incarnation all the way to his jaded self and so on - you'll laugh, you'll cry and you thank all that is good that...more

From his youthtful incarnation all the way to his jaded self and so on - you'll laugh, you'll cry and you thank all that is good that George Pendle wrestled the darkest of angels to the ground and made him his bitch! I honestly say to do this book justice, you just have to climb on board and read it! READ IT!!! I swear you'll not be disappointed!   hide

Very clever.
