Description
Meet Earl Grey, a down-to-earth but down on his luck small-time newspaper reporter. Earl is a bit of an unreliable mess, albeit loveable, if absolutely necessary.
Much to Earl's lack of surprise, he is suddenly assigned a story far worse than his typical mundane day-to-day drudgery. Two days after the earth-shattering arrival of an alleged God in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2005, Earl is appointed as Media Liaison to this extremely ungodlike man. One who has been apparently working miracles after being found in the Arizona desert clad in Armani.
With 'God' now restricted to a hospital room, Earl suddenly finds himself with exclusive access to the Almighty. And with great access comes great demand, as our less-than-intrepid reporter quickly discovers - meeting a feast of both loveable and despicable characters - each one not entirely what they seem. But one thing's certain, they all want something from this newly arrived God and plan to go through Earl to get it. However, Earl, a lifelong atheist and skeptic, has very different plans and sets about to uncover the true identity of this unusual man before His time on earth runs out.
Thrust into global celebrity and a massive mid-life course correction, it isn't long before Earl is overwhelmed, paranoid, and plagued with crippling self-doubt. But, as usual, he'll have to sort out the whole mess for himself. Hopefully, before the world comes to an end.

This is a great book! As soon as I started it, I got a Douglas Adams vibe, but Mr. Featherston has a style all his own. Highly recommended!
I enjoyed this book a lot, it definitely appealed to my often dry, and a bit dark, sense of humour, so I laughed a great deal throughout.
The main character, Earl, is loveable and frustrating in equal measure, but I do think that the author developed his character really well, and as such I felt very invested in Earl’s story.
The storyline itself was interesting and felt quite unique to me as I haven’t come across a story similar to this one.
Overall I think it’s a good read that I would recommend.
My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.
