Carpet Diem

Or...How to Save the World by Accident

De: Justin Lee Anderson

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

Fifteen years after losing most of his family to a devastating, pudding-related tragedy, Simon Debovar has settled into a life of self-imposed exile from the stinking, selfish morass of humanity. Content that his daily highlights will include hazelnut coffee, a long bath, and the occasional jar of olives, his life is completely upturned by the discovery that his ornate living room carpet is the deciding factor in a bet between God and Satan.

When mysteriously well-timed carpet thieves deprive him of the crucial heirloom, Simon is forced to leave his hermit's existence behind for a world of angels, demons, witches, and immortals.

And then it gets complicated.

"I laughed, I cried, I bought a fireside rug!" (Ian Pattison, creator of Rab C Nesbitt)

Bizarrely fun

While I admit more than wondering, “what on earth is this book talking about,” it’s bizarre strömt line kept me wondering what would happen next. By the end of the book, I truly liked all the characters. The resolution is worth it.

Taty

Wonderful pass time for all nerds😃.

Fantasy about nothing serious but also about the most important stuff in life.

a good but long story.

an enjoyable but at times too wordy story. good for a long road trip .

Brilliant!!!!

Perfectly written and narrated British wit and cynicism. This is a throughly enjoyable read, in the vein of Neil Gamon.
