The Management Style of the Supreme Beings
Autor Tom Holten Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2017
It soon becomes apparent that our new owners, the Venturi brothers, have a very different perspective on all sorts of things. Take Good and Evil, for example. For them, it's an outdated concept that never worked particularly well in the first place.
Unfortunately,
the
sudden
disappearance
of
right
and
wrong,
while
welcomed
by
some,
raises
certain
concerns
amongst
those
still
attached
to
the
previous
team's
management
style.
In
particular,
there's
one
of
the
old
gods
who
didn't
move
out
with
the
others.
A
reclusive
chap,
he
lives
somewhere
up
north,
and
only
a
handful
even
believe
in
him.
But
he's
watching.
And
he
really
does
need
to
know
if
you've
been
naughty
or
nice.

(starred
review)
"This is a must-read for those who grew up in awe ofThe Phantom Tollbooth...Holt achieves near-perfection in his new comic fantasy."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Good, The Bad and The Smug
"Exceedingly clever and funny."
—RT Book Reviews on The Good, The Bad and The Smug
"Satisfying and entertaining."
—RT Book Reviews on The Outsorcerer's Apprentice
"Holt has a zany humor that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Christopher Moore."
—Library Journal on The Outsorcerer's Apprentice
"Tom Holt'sDoughnutpresents a roller-coaster ride through the world of physics and the origins of the universe."—Library Journal on Doughnut
"A light read from the prolific humorist; a romp round the multiverse."—SFX on Doughnut
"Like the deep-fried snack after which it's named, this sci-fi novel is sweet and fun."—Sun (UK) on Doughnut
"Holt adds to his repertoire of comedic sf, one of the most difficult genre acts to master. Theo is an engaging hero; his brilliance is counteracted by his laziness and his compassion, which is matched by his sense of survival. Place this title alongside Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman'sGood Omens, Pratchett's "Discworld" series, and the absurdist works of mainstream authors such as John Barth and Gilbert Sorrentino."—Library Journal (Starred Review) on Doughnut
"One for physicists as well as Krispy Kreme-loving policemen."—T3 on Doughnut
"Blonde Bombshellis a clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book."—Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author, on Blonde Bombshell
