On The Seventh Day- by Mark Wilson
I’m running out of superlatives to describe the works of Mark Wilson. Often compared to his compatriot, Irvine Welsh, I find that’s a tad lazy as he has a completely different writing style. I find that Mr Wilsons work is more subtle and deeply considered than the full throttle assault Irvine welsh often adopts.
When approaching this book and reading the little teasers (again the Irvine welsh comparison was made) like "God hates you. Regardless of religion, race, sex, sexuality or nationality. He hates all of you. Basically, you are fucked."…it would be fair to say I was expecting a full on twisted barrage of anti-religious abuse. Whereas what Mark Wilson does with this book is to gently satirise religion by way of the retelling of biblical stories through the eyes of “Nick” who is one of the main characters in the book, while The other main characters wreak havoc in the present as Jesus is resurrected by way of inhabiting the body of a nondescript Scotsman, along with Moses as his right hand man inhabiting the body of a Manchester United footballer.
So the book has two streams throughout, That of Jay and Mo, trying to convince the entire world (every single one of us) that they must repent and adopt the one and only true commandment that God (Stuart) asked Moses to impart to the human race, which was, “don’t be a cunt” , before Moses got idea’s above his station and carved out those other nonsensical 10 commandments back in the day.
The world looks on in disbelief and shock as Jay and Mo perform miracle after miracle at various points around the world (spread like wild fire by social media).
Whilst the miracles convince many, the media, sceptics (and a deadly agent provocateur) cause their own havoc by their usual underhanded skulduggery and cynicism. Whilst all this is going on the story unveils new characters and twists. The afore mentioned Nick has his own issues with God / Stuart (an angrier more cynical God you could never meet).These characters, especially Nick, take us to different places and theories and this adds to the books mystery and intrigue in such a way that it helps prevent the book from being a simply witty farce as Wilson shows just how much he researched his biblical theories and then reconstructed them (or was it de constructed) them through his magical Wilson eyes before putting pen to paper. The result is a thoroughly entertaining, controversial, thought provoking, funny, outrageous (at times) story of what could happen if God or the son of God was to reveal him/herself to the modern world. The phrase “you’re talking through your arse” takes on a whole new meaning in this story and literally had me laughing out loud!
Miracles are either believed by half the people or considered trickery or blasphemy by the other half…and let’s face it I know which camp I would fall in if a Scotsman and a premier league footballer called a press conference telling us they are Moses and Jesus reincarnated and we must all repent of God will fuck us over…in 7 days.
On the seventh Day genuinely makes you think how we would react of the son of God made an appearance in these fucked up sceptical, religiously divided times whilst also being able to make you guffaw (or Tut in outrage, if you are that way inclined).
I loved On the seventh day and would highly recommend this to any of my friends and family and readers of the End Fanzine……talking of which, at one point in the book Jesus / Jay even receives a tweet from The End fanzine (yes really!) asking him if he’s up for an interview!...you can imagine my delight and pride at having our little fanzine included in the work of one Mark Wilson…go buy this book now, you won’t be disappointed..and while you’re at it, have a look through Mark Wilsons other body of works and try them too. The man has such a great talent and should already be a literary star….just like that cunt Irvine Welsh.

“And now for something completely different”.
First, this book is not for everyone. On the Seventh Day takes on religion, specifically Christianity in satire, which will be offensive to some people. Also, if you have a strong dislike of foul language, this is not the book for you.
I thought I would start reading more books outside my comfort zone, and On the Seventh Day by Mark Wilson is way, way out of my comfort zone. However, I’m so glad I read it. The book, highly irreverent, and a bit disrespectful and yet, it’s also entertaining, hopeful, and thought-provoking.
Right off the bat, this book starts off with some very strong language which was difficult to read at first. I almost gave up because of the language and the tone of the book. I am not averse to some bad language in books as I feel it reflects the real world, however, this book has a great deal of offensive language at the beginning (and throughout the entire book). I plowed through the first couple of chapters and then I was quickly absorbed into the story and the language just became part of the story. The language and disrespectful manner are so much part of their characterization and the story that you soon can understand and even enjoy the ways these characters communicate.
On The Seventh Day takes a satirical look at modern religion, using biblical characters in a modern setting. It’s an entertaining and spiritual journey that I am glad I went on with the author. The book is well researched as the author turned, twisted, and re-imagined biblical stories, characters, and references put them in modern settings, which gave the book authenticity.
The book was far more entertaining and even hopeful than I expected and it’s a book that remains in my thoughts long after I read the final words. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

BRILLIANT!
July 14, 2017
In this book, Mark Wilson satirises religion, and he does it well. Jay and Mo (Jesus and Moses) are given the job of trying to warn the human race that it's pissed God off big time, and are given new bodies to work from. As they perform miracles and try to convince people to be nicer to each other, God (Stuart) and Satan (Nick) let us in on their religious thoughts, and theories about what has gone wrong with the world.
It is obvious that Mark has done a lot of biblical study to write this book, and the discussions about good vs evil, faith, and the use of miracles, are at times as philosophical as they are funny. There is a lot of swearing, and if you are religious then some parts may offend. I didn't mind the swearing, in fact, some of it is hilarious, and instead of being offended in any way, the story made me think about how I'd react if Jesus made a re-appearance and told me God hated me. I still don't know how I'd react!
This is a strange mix of book. It made me howl with laughter in places, and in others made me consider my place in the universe, sometimes immediately after each other. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it. A very funny, and very clever book.

*******POSSIBLY SPOILERRIFIC*******
Oh, but what a theological jewel this book is!
A fantastic take on the seemingly kaleidoscopic battlefield that is religion in the 21st century.
God is a sadistic you know what, Jesus, Moses and Lucifer are trying desperately and in vain to claw back some damage limitation and the human race is pretty much, well, doomed!
Some fabulously familiar names from stories we all know, mixed in deliciously with the all too familiar backdrop of supposed cynicism, social networking and surprising adulation.
Clever, funny and positively impossible to put down.
What a read.

What starts out as great satire turns into a profoundly entertaining story line with an explosive and satisfactory climax. I've read three of Wilson's books to date and this is easily his best work.

Some may be offended by this book, may consider it blasphemous. NRA sponsored militia's in the 'bible' belt may. Those Christians who would turn their back on refugees fleeing warzones may. Those church goers who would snatch what little dignity the poor have left may. If that’s you then I'm glad you wasted your money, though given the blurb well, that would make you Donald Trump stoopid.
It is irreverent, no doubt. Such is the nature of satire. Satire also makes you think. Given the current state of the world, if there was a God, does the idea of him / her pressing the reset button seem so far-fetched? If you're a Christian, a proper one, not like them in the previous paragraph, wouldn’t you think after yet another act of cruelty…fair enough? F*ck it, this isn’t working?
But like good satire it's also entertaining. There are two threads interwoven. One, Jesus (Jay) and Moses (Mo) trying to save the world. The second has Satan (Nick) sitting in a bar telling his woes to a girl (haven't we all) about how it came to this. I have to say I empathised most with the Nick character. What that says about me is between me and my team of therapists. Story details, how it all ends…read it and find out. Unless your one of those first paragraph people, in which case I can recommend a great film called 'The life of Brian. Trust me you'll love it.
It takes guts to take on something like this. It takes writing skill to pull it off. Mr Wilson has both in spades.

I've always enjoyed fiction that portrays supernatural or divine entities as if they were people. I'm thinking Pratchett & Gaiman's Good Omens, soMe of Tom Holt's fiction and films like Dogma. So I was looking forward to Mark Wilson's novel.
It differs from the aforementioned works in that it is more sweary, adult and perhaps more cynical. However, this gives it a more cutting edge for me. Wilson tells his tale from a number of perspectives including that of Jesus and Moses who have returned to Earth in order to try and save the human race. The cynical response they get from people is the source of much of the humour in the novel and feels as close to reality as it's probably possible to get in this kind of novel.
If you're easily offended by swearing and sexual references then this probably isn't the book for you. However, if you can look past that then you'll enjoy this book. In his own way Wilson tackles a number of deep philosophical ideas, albeit with his tongue firmly within his cheek. Interesting, funny and thoughtful. Read it.

Where do i start with this one it had me loving it and hating it at the same time and it played with my mind as i do have my own beliefs . The first chapter or so put me off and i thought its not for me this is the one book from Mark Wilson that i wont like . But i persevered and found myself getting more and more drawn into the story as it went . Mark takes us into a different way of thinking about god and religion and what if's in this one, but remembering that it was never written to offend and it is what it claims to be satirical. I found myself enjoying it and loved the humour patter and onliners and as always Mark has made the characters believable and likable and the scenes are easily pictured . To write something like this is a huge gamble but id say it paid off .

Not for the easily offended,although they should read it too or they will be missing out.
God is a wee bit peeved with the world,and sets two ordinary Joes (well one and a Premiership footballer)the task of restoring humanities faith in ...(well Himself).One week,that is all can they do it............
Like a previous reviewer,I felt the biblical stuff in the first 3rd distracted from the flow a little,but then whammo I raced through till the end,sitting up till the wee small ours to finish.
Sweary words and blasphemy are not everyone's cup of Rosie Lee,personally I can't get enough,so do yourselves a favour give this a go,it is worth the ride.
This is an honest review,and not just an arse kiss to Mr Wilson ....so there.

I loved this. The perfect blending of science and theology, the re-imaging of classic Bible stories, and the casting of God as the biggest Cunt imaginable while having the Devil as a sympathetic character trying to save the world in seven days, with Jesus and Moses, is just superb.

On The Seventh Day by Mark Wilson is a book that is truly different from what I tend to read. This one is rather like Marmite, you will either love or hate it. I am in the love it side. Mark Wilson is a new author to me so I began this book not knowing what to expect. I couldn't put it down!
God is furious.
He has run out of patience with humans and decided that our time is over.
We've had our chance and it's back to the drawing board.
Mo, and Jay, best friends who've screwed up in the past, beg him for one more chance to get the humans back on track. Alongside Mr Saluzar, the head of a global charity foundation, and Nick, The Fallen Angel, they hurtle towards Armageddon and their one chance to prove God wrong.
They have seven days to save us.
Well, if you are religious, or easily offended by sexual references and swearing, this may not be the book for you. Mark Wilson has turned religion on it's head and God is cast as the one who is pissed of with humans and Mo and Jay (Moses and Jesus, off course!) are given the job to attempt to get people to be nicer to each other while performing the odd miracle or two. This is mainly met with cynicism by the humans they are attempting to save.
A totally unique book that is a satirical take on religion in the 21st century. I have really never read anything like it. For those who can cope with all the above, this is a story that will have you laughing at the irreverence of it all. On the other hand, cut through the humour and underneath it all he has quietly tackled a number of things that really make you think...and hard.
Thank you to ZooLoo's Book Tours and Spellbound Books for my copy of the book.

I enjoyed this. It’s irreverent at the same time that it is serious about spirituality. Riveting story too, and good withhold/reveal balance. Nicely done.

I had no idea where Wilson was going with this one. I expected anti-religious commentary and lots of implications that religion is the cause of all evil. What I was given was a Scottish arsehole type God, sick of humans and their abject selfishness, who was hellbent on putting an end to the world and starting again. And can we blame him?
Wilson is gentle with his religious commentary; I'd originally thought I'd be unable to recommend the book to some of my religious friends. In actual fact, I think they'd love it. Bible stories are referenced and twisted to help us understand some of Wilson's A-lister biblical characters, resulting in a wonderful range of back stories, development opportunities, and a true grasp of relationships. Where I thought I'd already known how relationships would be portrayed, I was wrong; the Devil loves God and seeks only to please him; Jesus and Moses are best pals who love nothing more than smoking joints and playing first-person shooters; Lazarus the head of a charitable foundation still dies and rises four days later. Although easily deemed controversial, what Wilson gives us is ultimately heartwarming, instructive, and a hell of a read.
Jesus and Moses descend to earth in an attempt to talk sense into the humans, to ensure them God is watching; he's no happy, and if they continue as they are, he will bring destruction to their world. This is particularly interesting, as Wilson compares the visit to the last time Jesus was on earth. We see the power of technology and social media allow Jesus access to far many more people than he'd ever be capable of two thousand years previously. Wilson comments on traditional media reporting warped information in order to mislead and deceive the world. The articles written by the newspapers we're all familiar with were so typical of each of their views, and the tweets sent to Jesus were entirely relatable and hugely funny.
I really enjoyed the exploration of Nick, the Fallen Angel, or as we know him, Satan. The journey which led to his fall was heartbreaking, and it was wonderful to connect with him. What I loved most of all was his hell, Sheoul, where humans would descend after death to be prepared for heaven. Some humans take longer than others to become pure; some are thrown to the bottom level and tortured due to their sins on earth. I particularly connected with (and many others will - although many will take offence) the idea that God-fearing humans who devoted their entire lives to their religion, took longer than most to be ready to face him. The satire is hilarious, and really something to think about.
This absolutely isn't for everyone, and although it was far more subtle than I'd expected, I imagine it will still offend some. If the thought of a God with a Lanarkshire accent who has a penchant for the word cunt mortifies you, I wouldn't pick it up. For all others, I would thoroughly recommend and endorse this.
One commandment: Don't be a cunt.

The articles written by the newspapers we're all familiar with were so typical of each of their views, and the tweets sent to Jesus were entirely relatable and hugely funny.
I really enjoyed the exploration of Nick, the Fallen Angel, or as we know him, Satan. The journey which led to his fall was heartbreaking, and it was wonderful to connect with him. What I loved most of all was his hell, Sheoul, where humans would descend after death to be prepared for heaven. Some humans take longer than others to become pure; some are thrown to the bottom level and tortured due to their sins on earth. I particularly connected with (and many others will - although many will take offence) the idea that God-fearing humans who devoted their entire lives to their religion, took longer than most to be ready to face him. The satire is hilarious, and really something to think about.
This absolutely isn't for everyone, and although it was far more subtle than I'd expected, I imagine it will still offend some. If the thought of a God with a Lanarkshire accent who has a penchant for the word cunt mortifies you, I wouldn't pick it up. For all others, I would thoroughly recommend and endorse this.
One commandment: Don't be a cunt.

Mark Wilson is fast becoming one of my favourite writers. I was a bit nervous to read a book of his outside the dEaDINBURGH series in case I was disappointed...but disappointed I wasn't.
First things first if you are easily offended then this book isn't for you. Basically God hates us all and he has given Jesus and Moses (or Jay and Mo) 7 days to turn it around before he pulls the plug completely. The human race has ignored the one commandment that God specified....... Don't be a C U Next Tuesday! Can Jay and Mo save the world and reach enough people in time through the use of social media and a stint on the Lorraine show?!
I found this to be a hilarious satire with witty and relatable observations. I'll definitely be checking out more in the Lanarkshire Strays collection.
Ps. Did I mention God is a foul mouthed Scot called Stewart!

Satire at its finest. Mark Wilson's religiously themed tale of human morality explores the broken nature of humans in this technological age, where nobody keeps secrets and everything is shared through television, social media and other news outlets. Everybody has an ulterior motive as Jesus and Moses are miraculously poured into the bodies of a loudmouth Scottish musician and a millionaire footballer respectively, tasked with saving humanity within seven days. Of course, it doesn't quite go to plan as God, Satan, and the Angel of Death have their own agendas. I cannot recommend this highly enough, it's the best of Mark Wilson's increasingly impressive repertoire so far, but let's not kid ourselves that he won't go on improving with everything he does. Five easy stars.

I absolutely LOVED this book. I sat on the train with a smile on my face and giggling to myself while reading it! Couldn't recommend it highly enough, although I would give a warning....... Not for those who are easily offended, but this made me want to read it more!

*I received a free copy of this book with thanks to the author and to Zoé of Zooloo’s Book Tours. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*
This book starts as a witty religious satire and turns into something far more profound, and disturbingly sensical.
There are two main plot threads: Nick has had a bit of a falling out with his best friend and boss, Stewart, and now Stewart is threatening to close the whole company down, liquidate all assets and burn the place to the ground. The problem is, Stewart is God, the company is the whole world and everyone in it, and Nick… well, you’ve heard of Old Nick, right? While Nick sits in a bar, telling his version of the Biblical story to the distraught human barmaid, two heavenly hippie pals (Mo and Jay) hijack human bodies and attempt to spread a message of love and peace to all on earth, in a last ditch attempt to save humanity from Stewart’s almighty wrath.
Not only was I rooting for the literal devil throughout this story, but his version of events made so much sense to me that my sense of emotional and spiritual balance was shaken to the ground in reading this. As all good satire does, it entertained me whilst simultaneously making me question everything I previously believed – and I am not religious… I can’t imagine how worried I would feel right now if I was a fervent believer.
This fast-paced, apocalyptic riot of a book does offer a glimpse of hope for mankind, but as it involves relying heavily on the Second Coming and a LOT of things going wrong for a lot of people, I will hold off on praying for it and just try my best not to be a c-expletive-t in the meantime.
I would definitely read more from Mark Wilson and think fans of books like Good Omens (Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman), Carpet Diem (Justin Lee Anderson), Here Comes the Sun or Only Human (both by Tom Holt), would really enjoy this religious raking-over-the-coals.
And may Jay, Mo and Nick save us all!
'Nick regarded the drink in his hands for several moments, then leaned across the table. Taking his best friend’s hand he whispered quietly.
“My Lord, I will be your opponent until the legions of souls in Hell are elevated to Heaven. Until I can teach each of the souls who come to me that the path to glory is forgiveness. Forgiveness of your callous disregard of their spirituality and capacity for greatness. Forgiveness for the rape, torture, genocide and hate that you allow to proliferate because you think the human beasts, like each of those you created to prowl and slither and scutter across the earth.
“They are not. They have transcended you and the need for the idea of you. Each and every soul I send to you magnifies your greatness. I will send a torrent of eligible souls to you. I will empty Hell and increase your glory.”
Stewart lit another Regal King-Size and eyed his eternal adversary and best friend.
“Fancy the calamari, Nicky?” He asked.
Nick grinned. “I do, chief. I do.”'

When I agreed to review On the Seventh Day I really had no idea what I was letting myself in for but I had an absolute blast reading this crazy novel. It’s fun, satirical and such a brilliant twist on religion. I’m not religious at all or offended by anything however just a warning that if you are quite religious and don’t like this being played with, it may not be the book for you. This novel also contains a lot of profanities so again – be warned if this bothers you. In my case, any book that begins with THAT Stephen Fry quote certainly gets my attention.
So God (Stuart – who knew?!) is done with humans. He’s fed up of them treating each other terribly, starting wars in his name and just being a disgrace. Nick (a fallen angel – yes Lucifer - but a good friend of God) feels differently. He things humanity can be saved with help and being shown the error of their ways. Also there’s Jay (Jesus) and Mo (Moses) who’s sole job was to deliver the commandment of do not be a c**t until Moses screwed it up by adding additional ones and Jay messed up by getting involved with the Romans who are now desperately trying to teach humans the word of God. God decides that the 3 of them have one last chance to save humans before he destroys them.
What ensues is an often hilarious but also thought-provoking road trip with Nick, Jay and Mo trying their best to show people God exists and warn them of the dangers of their choices. I mean…God just wants them to be nice to each other so how hard can it be?
I love the modernised biblical characters and how Wilson has used biblical events but with a twist and a different perspective. Yes it’s comedy but there is also a lot of food for though about humans and what we do to each other and the planet and how often is religion used as a reason and justification for things. I loved the perspective of God and it made me wonder what he would make of things (if he is actually real) and also just how much control he has. There are references to may of the world’s problems and bring them to the forefront of your thoughts in such a clever way.
Overall, On the Seventh Day is an intelligent, satirical look at religion and the world’s problems and is extremely creative and often hilarious. If you don’t mind religious satire or a bucketful of profanities, then you need to add this one to your pile (the top). Very clever!

Disclaimer: Violence, indications of rape, suicide, and a lot of blasphemy.
I was not sure what I was going to get into with this book. I read the blurb and was interested but very concerned about how religious this one was going to be. With the understanding that some of it was going to be focused on religion I was going to give it a show...and it did not disappoint. This book is not for those that are easily offended, not for those that want a light story about religion, nor for those that are overly religious. This book was a harsh, violent, cursing depiction of God and his belief that the world is s*** and it should all be destroyed, that no one is worthy of Heaven and so he is going to end it all.
The story is told in by a few different storylines running at once. There is Nick (Lucifer) telling the story of creation and his downfall to a bartender, one that focuses on Miriam and Mr. Saluzar, as well as the larger plot focused one that follows Jay (Jesus) and Mo (Moses) as they attempt to have a second coming and prove to God that the human race should be saved and that they are worthy.
I really enjoyed the alternating perspectives of this story. It gave the background needed to fully grasp how off-the-deep-end Stewart (God) has gone and how much his wrath comes into play. It shows another side/ story for Lucifer, and the overarching plot of the second coming.
What I found very realistic, although we will probably never know, was the way that Jay and Mo are recieved by the world. They attempt to show humans miracles, what it is like to be without, what it means to really be saved... and half the population go absolutely nuts. There are non-believers that not only don't believe but also riot, there are mass suicides, skeptics, social media nay-sayers. It follows a lot of the same trajectory as normal news. In a way it is a sad social commentary.
For me as a non-religious person, I found this book to be funny. The cynicism is strong, the blasphemy is prominent, and the re-imagining is actually really clever. This book is a rollercoaster of weird and over the top. I said that it isn't for the faint of heart, but they should probably read it as well. It is a lot, but it is also very telling. There are undertones of 'we all f***ed up and we need to fix it' that I think everyone should hear.

My first review with @zoolootours and what a brilliant book to start my tour spot off. A huge thank you to Zoè for my #gifted copy of the book.
▪︎SYNOPSIS▪︎
God is furious.
He has run out of patience with humans and decided that our time is over.
We've had our chance and it's back to the drawing board.
Mo, and Jay, best friends who've screwed up in the past, beg him for one more chance to get the humans back on track. Alongside Mr Saluzar, the head of a global charity foundation, and Nick, The Fallen Angel, they hurtle towards Armageddon and their one chance to prove God wrong.
They have seven days to save us.
▪︎MY THOUGHTS▪︎
Ah man this book left me with aching cheeks and sides. It is HILLARIOUS! If you ever need a pick me up book-PICK THIS ONE UP! I couldn't stop laughing and smiling. It is the most bizzare book I've ever read and I loved it!
You cannot fault this book at all. God is furious with us humans and so pretty much wants to kill us all! You would think what the actual hell- how dare he, but God (aka Mr Stevens) does have a good reason too. Then you enter the two besties, Mo and Jay who pretty much beg God to give them seven days to sort out us humans. The journey these two have to go through is part hilarious part dark. Yes this book is funny, but you do get some important topics thrown in. Also throughout On the Seventh Day you are left having a good old think and wondering what you could possibly be doing wrong.
I loved all the characters, Mo and Jay are just brilliant and I really liked our side characters Mr Saluzar and our fallen angel Nick. Tbh I'm a sucker for Fallen Angels so I couldn't help be drawn to Nick!
This is just a fab book that really perked me up feeling rotten and unwell. It's just the perfect book with such a good balance of fun and and darkness. Wilson is an amazing writer and I genuinely think he has a fabulous personality that shines through his book. I definitely think everyone should have a go at this little beauty.

Stewart (aka God) is a very angry God, pretty much all the time. His human experiment has gone very wrong and they are screwing up the world in every way. On a night out with his oldest friend Nick, (The Fallen Angel aka Satan, Beelzebub, call him what you will, he’s a good bloke at heart) he announces he has had enough. He storms into the office where Mo (Moses) and Jay (Jesus) are playing a video game and also summons Azrael, the Angel of Death. The boys have both already let him down badly when they had their chance on earth before but they manage to persuade Stewart to give them another go. The only problem – they have a mere seven days in which to do it.
Jay and Mo hit the ground as gobby Scottish bass player Garry Crawford and world famous Man United footballer Chris Pillans respectively, and in these modern times, with a wealth of social media and the human race’s desire to share absolutely everything, it should be a much easier job than before to put the word around – shouldn’t it? Especially when they make friends in high places. As Armageddon rapidly approaches, Nick and the mysterious Mr Saluzar, the CEO of a huge charity foundation, are also helping out but things don’t go quite to plan as it transpires God and his assassin have ulterior motives.
Some parts of the story, particularly Nick’s discussions with Beth are quite deep and philosophical, and the whole question of human morality and the destruction and selfishness of mankind is most thought provoking in this rather unusual book. The ending is absolutely tremendous, displaying the author’s wonderful imagination and makes for a very satisfying conclusion all round. It’s possibly not the best book for those who don’t like a lot of swearing (although I found after a few pages you get immune to it anyway) or for those who take religion very strictly but a fantastic choice for those who love satire and humour. Ideal for lovers of the Clovenhoof series or Good Omens! 5*

"On the Seventh Day" is definitely one of those books you're going to be thinking about for a long time after reading. It's not a book for the easily offended, but it's perfect for readers who'd like a little bit of freedom of thought with their humorous fiction. I found myself laughing quite a lot while reading, but there's also a serious undertone to the book that made this so much more than a comedy read.

I wasn't sure about this story when I started but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. The author has a great sense of humour and I laughed a lot throughout. If you're looking for something different to read you must give this a go.
