About this ebook
From the Nation Book Award finalist for Picture Me Now comes a quirky tale where one lazy, junk-food loving teenager finds himself in control of creating and shaping the universe.

“Wildly inventive and laugh-out-loud funny.”—Booklist, starred review
“Cheeky and subversive.”—The Horn Book, starred review
“Thoughtful, hilarious.”—People
What if God were a teenage boy?
Bob wasn’t born God, but when his mother wins the job in a poker game, she gives it to her son, wanting only the best for him. And so Bob creates the heavens and earth and all the creatures of the earth and sea and millions of other species (including lots of cute girls). But every time Bob falls in love, the earth is besieged by earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters. And now, Bob is smitten with a completely irresistible girl called Lucy.
The world had better watch out.

Not as funny as the reviews would have you think, it drags on and on losing my attention..I kept stopping as I got bored. A TRULY funny book I devour in mere hours.tis a shame this needed to be tightened up..less whining by everyone and then it would of been good

The book was great; however, I felt the ending was a little rushed, and a bit predictable. It was a great read though, very human.
