An excerpt of my old review of the book: "Humour Fantasy or SF is not easily done, but Perry tackles the funniness in a surprisingly simple but very effective way: simplicity of speech and situations, establishing strong complicity between the humorous intent and the readers need of story and, the piéce de resistance, a very good use of wisecracks. These are easy for a lot of people to be good at it in conversation, but writing is another realm and it is a surprisingly difficult thing to achieve; most authors get away with putting one, maybe 2 or 3 in a novel. Perry does it a lot, with perfect timing and finésse. Puns that are ordinary or that you regularly hear show up in the text effortlessly, and you can't help smiling and laughing.
It is a story about a dead guy. He tends to get into trouble. There are Vampires, trolls, ogres, a quest, gadgets, satanic rock, innocents, eternals, ...only God doesn't show up in the story. Maybe in a sequel if we're lucky. But I bet you will laugh from beginning to end.
I encourage you to read it."… (meer)
