This one was so disappointing. Holt has his moments of wit, and - yes - he can string together great similes. However, writing similes does not make a novel... or even a short story. The idea was a good one: God and Jesus go on a fishing holiday, leaving the youngest brother, Kevin, at home with Uncle Ghost (who likes to watch TV all day). Of course, trouble ensues when Kevin pokes his nose in where it doesn't belong and messes with God's master computer.

The premise of God and his son J going on holiday and everything going wrong from there tickled my fantasy and I gave it a shot.

think I can honestly say that I *liked* this book. It was a light, funny read. I wasn’t completely cracked up but I wasn’t bored either. The idea of Heaven and Hell is an ideal one for a parody, or at least a humoristic work.
In Only Human, God and his eldest son Jay go away on a fishing trip leaving things in the hand of Kevin (God’s younger son)… well, things concerning the Cosmo are supposed to be in the hands of Mainframe, God’s computer designed by KIC… until Kevin decides to push a few More...

A fun read, very Pratchett-like (just like it says in the blurbs on the back. Was a good way to start off the year of reading, on the train back from DC. I'll be keeping this author in mind for those times when you just need to read a book that you're guaranteed not to be disappointed in.

Really a hodge-podge of vignettes rather than a novel. There was a plot arc but the resolution was somewhat thrown in there. The alien strand was useless.

Did not enjoy this book as much as other books by Tom Holt but liked the idea.

Overly clever, unsubtle, and not nearly as funny as the author thinks it is. Plus, he knows dick about lemmings.

meh... I get the humour, but it's not really amusing, definitely not "dazzling" or "brilliantly funny" as quoted on the cover
