Try reading it only once

Let me put it this way: I own three copies of the book and keep looking for it in used bookstores. I've read nearly all of Condon's books but this is my favorite - the concept is funny, the characters are funny, the dialogue is funny and it all works. Track it down.

Dangerously hilarious and outrageous novel

The gods--all of them!--have formed the third congress for the evaluation of sin because they don't understand the flap about money. Why is everyone so interested in it? WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT??? To answer this, they "take" two people and watch them interact. At first it's just supposed to be the two interacting with each other, but pretty soon the gods get into the picture, too. Zeus, acting the part of a horny municipal court judge, dodges Hera's wrath while chasing all the supernatural skirts he can. N'Zuriel ("Little Yaweh") keeps hitting the pause button situated on the side of his throne to stop action so that they can catch up on and analyze (incorrectly) what they're seeing, then restarts the action when they're satisfied. Know how sometime you lose track of what you're doing? That's when N'Zuriel hits the button. Want more? Find the book. Prepare for belly pain from excess hilarity.
