Carpet Diem by Justin Lee Anderson and read by Matthew Lloyd Davies, is a fantasy audiobook that won the 2018 Audie Award for Humor. Simon, the main character, has an old rug that an angel and a demon, representatives of God and the Devil, are fighting over, and he has to decide which one gets it. Only the rug is stolen - so he has to find it first. The book is full of funny characters and situations, and was inspired by Neil Gaiman (according to an author interview). I enjoyed Davies' voicings, but I didn't care for his rendition of Simon's aunt Harriet - too screechy! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The story is very funny. Just hang up your Biblical views before starting, though, as he has created his own cast of Heavenly roles and rules for the sake of his story.
The writing is very funny. ( )
