Summary
As punishment for his part in an attempted coup in heaven, the archangel Michael is banished to Earth. The holiest of the angelic host has to learn to live as a mortal - not an easy job when you’ve got Satan as a next-door neighbor.
Michael soon finds that being a good person involves more than helping out at Sunday school and attending church coffee mornings. He has to find his purpose in life, deal with earthly temptations, and solve a mystery involving some unusual monks and a jar of very dangerous jam.
Heide Goody and Iain Grant have come up with this wild comedy that features spear-wielding cub scouts, accidental transvestites, King Arthur, a super-intelligent sheepdog, hallucinogenic snacks, evil peacocks, old ladies with biscuits, naked paintball, stolen tractors, clairvoyant computers, the Women’s Institute, and way too much alcohol.

Sheer bliss!!
The second book in this series and a fantastic follow on to Clovenhoof which I massively enjoyed. Jeremy is still stuck on earth but now joined by Archangel Michael, he of the title role. It was hilarious listening to Michael learning about day to day events and bodily functions whilst Clovenhoof is up to his old tricks of causing as much madness and mayhem as possible. Seriously, would you leave this man in charge of a troupe of boy scouts, even the little horrors we encounter in this book?! Brilliant stuff, aided and abetted by a peculiar order of monks. One of the best bits and real laugh out loud moments was the addition to certain familiar faces to the renovated tapestries - I listened to this in car and people must think I'm daft, chuckling along while I'm driving! Can't wait to dive into the next book!

Still great
A great sequel to clovenhoof, I absolutely love the 'odd couple' aesthetic now that Michael has to live on Earth too. almost a great sitcom feel to it. funny and well narrated.

A fun second book in the series
A bit of a fun mad caper with laugh out loud moments.
A fun story with good pace. What's not to like? The devil, a fallen archangel, a sexually repressed nerd and a whole family of welsh women who are sexually liberated. An enjoyable story and just the right balance of bonkers.
Some slightly dubious accents but overall good narration.
Slightly off-putting background noises on the recording, at one point I could hear other people talking. But there's also what sounds like a hungry stomach sound, though it's surely too often to be real? If so, someone please send the narrator food!

Even better than Clovenhoof....!
Loved the first book but this was even better. Brilliant characters, brilliant narration and even had me giggling out loud on the tube journey home.
The satirical style and commentary on modern life reminds me of Terry Pratchett in places.

Very funny.
I’m really enjoying this series, it just gets funnier as it goes along. It reminds me of the HHGTTG books. Looking forward to reading book 3.
