The shocking new memoir from DeathAt last, the mysterious, feared, and misunderstood being known only as "Death" talks frankly and unforgettably about his infinitely awful existence. Chronicling his abusive childhood, his near-fatal addiction to Life, his excruciating time in rehab, and the ultimate triumph of his true nature, this long-awaited autobiography finally reveals the inner story of one of the most troubling, and troubled, figures in history. For the first time, Death reveals his affairs with the living, his maltreatment at the hands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the ungodly truth behind the infamous "Jesus Incident," and the loneliness of being the End of All Things. Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging, Death: A Life is not only a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a universe that, despite its profound flaws, gave Death the fiery determination to carve out a successful existence on his own terms. DEATH was born in Hell, the only son of Satan and Sin. He was educated in the Palace of Pandemonium and the Garden of Eden. Since before the Dawn of Time, he has ushered souls into the darkness of eternity. This is his first book.From the Trade Paperback edition.

This was a very humorous take on the beginnings of the world, told through the experiences of Death personified. A really interesting view of angels, souls, the afterlife, love, and life itself. The jokes are very understated but there were points where I was just cracking up.
If you don't think it's funny, then you're probably missing the point.
I really enjoyed this. I thought it was extremely creative and very humorous. The interesting take on historical and biblical events was hilarious at times and always enjoyable.
