The Management Style of the Supreme Beings

De: Tom Holt

Narrado por: Ray Sawyer

When the Supreme Being and his son decide that being supreme isn't for them any more, it's inevitable that things get a bit of a shake-up.

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 For them, it's an outdated concept that never worked particularly well in the first place.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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Extremely entertaining . . . . Holt's verbal acuity simply does not falter."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This is a must-read for those who grew up in awe of The 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's Doughnut presents 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's Good 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 Bombshell is a clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book."—Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author, on Blonde Bombshell

good story. just very dry

good story. just very dry. its more like a historical account than a rollicking adventure

So clever.

What a fun read! So very clever. Narrator was great.
Tom Holt’s best. Great job.

A great satire

Tom Holt constantly amazes me with his wit and subtle jabs at society. He points out the dangers of extreme capitalism and the need for morally all while twisting an amusing tale around characters we think we know. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry

THE BEST OF TOM HALT

I think this was the best story Tom halt has made so far, and I recommend to EVERYONE! #️⃣GEEK4LIFE

Not really sure what the plot is

It was seemingly meandering at times but at least There were some pretty funny moments along the way.

funny read

fun read. a little slow at first, but picks up. I recommend it to all

Pratchett/Adams addicts: worth a look

...Once you're done with their full catalogs. The humor is there. The subversion is attempted, but... it's a good swing and worth your time.

not his best but still enjoyable

god j and kevin. a nice family own a small planet. they sell it to a big company. sone things inprove though in the end nobody is happy

Loved it!

I wasn't sure at first that I would like it but after 10 minutes I decided I was going to love it, and I did. I love Tom Holts wit. he rights a lot like Terry Pratchett whom I also love. I recommend every Tom Holt book out there and I especially love Ray Sawyer. he is one of the best narrator's I've had the pleasure of listening to. he really makes these characters come alive.
