Publisher's 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.

lol funny

I love this team of authors and reader. They have the best grasp of humor and humanity since Sir Pratchett. Their series are delightfully re-readable.

“Calgon” reading

This whole series of books is hilarious and smart, and the narrator is so good it’s almost distracting sometimes. Highly recommended.

Varning, lyssna inte medan du kör bil

Fantastiskt rolig bok, ibland går det lite snabbt så man måste spola tillbaks för att hänga med men så himla bra uppläst och skrivit att man gråter av skratt, så kör inte bil samtidigt som du lyssnar på denna bok.

Great followup

The comedy in this one definitely lived up to clovenhoof. It's quite similar in the style of supernatural sitcom with an interesting story playing out.

I Have Rarely Laughed So Often Or So Loudly

I tend not to review books, because I almost never read reviews. With this series, however, it must be done.

In the spirit of Clovenhoof, I'm going to overshare:
This series of books has made me laugh so often, so loudly, and so forcefully that negatively physical consequences have occurred that required immediate cleanup.

The material given to Matthew Lloyd Davies is phenomenal, but his rich characters and fantastic voicing for each character truly makes both Clovenhoof and Pigeonwings two of my favorite audiobooks, ever.

A great continuation......

.....of the antics of Clovenhoof and friends. Jeremy (and Naris) continue to step in it dragging their friends with them, and still come up smelling like..... apple brandy. I am a fan of all things Arthurian and was pleasantly surprised to see a bit of the legend incorporated into this book. I once again highly recommend Pigeowings and am starting the next book today!

Hilarious

Loved it, laughed until I cried several times and can only hope the rest of the series is this good.
