Imagine a world where gods and humans directly interact. Then imagine the possibilities. Such a fun book, and a fast read--even for me who manages an average sized book every two weeks. I think everyone should sit down every now and then with just this kind of clever and lighthearted material. You have a minor but successful god of fortune, his highly likeable aimless friend Quick, aka serpent god Quetzalcoatl, a love goddess who made the grave mistake of falling in love herself turning her into the goddess of tragedy and heartbreak, and a rogue god of choas and death (who has one of the best lines, which is actually borrowed from the movie Army of Darkness). With some mere mortal characters mixed in, it all makes for an amusing and delightful diversion. Well worth picking up.
