Product Description:
Don't call me a demon. I prefer the term Fallen Angel.
Everybody deserves a vacation, right? Especially if you have a pointless job like tormenting the damned. So who could blame me for blowing off my duties and taking a small, unauthorized break?
Besides, I've always wanted to see what physical existence is like. That's why I "borrowed" the slightly used body of a slacker teen. Believe me, he wasn't going to be using it anymore anyway.
I have never understood why humans do the things they do. Like sin—if it's so terrible, why do they keep doing it?
I'm going to have a lot of fun finding out!
Rating:
- Wonderful Book
I'm a teacher for 7th graders and this book was instantly flying off my shelf. The first student who read it is a reluctant reader, and he finished in a week. I have a line of other students who want to check it out.
I enjoyed the main character and his observations about life. The tone is well honed humor and the overall message invokes a sense of sweetness about life. Enjoy.

- Short and Cute
Kiriel is sick of Hell; that's where he works. He's a demon although he prefers to be called a Fallen Angel. So, he decides to take a vacation by stealing the body of a slacker teen named Shaun. It seems a good way for him to experience human emotions and experiences. Even though Kiriel could get in a lot of trouble for his vacation, he risks it, because he was in Hell to begin with and he would only be sent back there. But as Kiriel experiences life in Shaun's body, he starts to develop relationships ... Read More
Rating: - a demon or a regular teenage boy?
I love this new genre mixing magic and old elements of fantasy with modern-day teenage life. Charles de Lint does it so well, but he's a little dark for my tastes. This is just good, plain fun. I thought the things that interested a demon about life as a human felt very real and meaningful to me. It made me rethink my own life and what matters.
I loved how the demon tried to get sex. Not so different from a regular teenage boy, it turns out. And the little brother--awesome!
Rating: - hilarious and thought provoking
I loved this novel. It will make you laugh out loud page after page as a fallen angel who escapes from hell and inhabits the body of a dead boy tries to make his way through the day to day of high school, friendship, and a romantic relationship. All of this is in the pursuit of earthly pleasures, but nothing works out quite the way our fallen angel hero plans. Beneath all the fish-out-of-water or demon-out-of-hell humor there are some deep explorations of faith and justice. Great voice and unique story. ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent read!
The cover of this book led me to expect a kind-of fun, light adventure, but it really isn't. Kiriel the demon longs for time away from Hell and takes over the human body of a slacker-boy named Shaun. Potentially a comic set up. But Kiriel brings with him thousands of years of living in Hell reflecting sorrow and grief back at the damned souls; he feels joy at first encountering the wonders of the world while fearing his bosses from Hell will track him down and make him go back. Not really comic at all. ... Read More
