The Book of Bart

By: Ryan Hill

Narrated by: Ryan Daniel Pater

Working for the man upstairs stinks, but working with Samantha, an angel in training? Offensive!

Only one thing is so powerful, so dangerous that Heaven and Hell must work together to find it: The Shard of Gabriel.

With a mysterious black cloud of death hot on the shard's trail, a desperate Heaven enlists the help of Bartholomew, a demon who knows more about the shard than almost anyone. Six years ago, he had it in his hands. If only he'd used it before his coup to overthrow the Devil failed. Now, he's been sprung from his eternal punishment to help samantha recover the shard before the black cloud of death finds it.

If Bart wants to succeed, he'll have to fight the temptation to betray Samantha and the allure of the shard. After an existence full of evil, the only way Bart can get right with Hell is to be good.

Instant Classic!

Bartholomew is a demon from the seventh circle of Hell. When he’s brought back to Earth in a human body, he’s not sure why. When he’s contacted by Samantha, an angel-in-training, he’s tasked with a mission to find Gabriel’s shard before anyone else. The resulting adventure takes Bartholomew and Sam to high school where they must play as undercover teenagers. Turns out high school is hell after all.

This book…there are so many awesome things to say that I’m not sure where to begin.

Bartholomew (don’t call him Bart!) was definitely a character. He had such a big personality, it could hardly be contained. He was snarky, a jerk at points, but he was loyal and confident. More than once I laughed out loud at the things he did or said or thought. He is definitely one of my favorite fictional characters I’ve come across in any book this year.

His counterpart, Samantha, was just as interesting. As an angel in training, the banter between her and Bartholomew was just priceless.

I would love to see more of these two. Even though this audiobook is over ten hours long, I finished the book wanting more. This is one of the best paranormal books I’ve read in a while and the author is definitely a new favorite.

The narrator made Bartholomew’s snarky attitude pop even more, and I loved it.

The Book of Bart

An angel and demon working together. That can only lead to lots of laughs. A unique story filled with devilish adventures.

I enjoyed the narration and the voices, but there were repeated sentences and that's very frustrating for a listener.

Very Entertaining Demonic Comedy

Bart is a demon whose been suffering punishment for a failed coup of hell. Part of why he failed is he had the Shard of Gabriel and didn't use it. Now Heaven is enlisting his help to find it and someone so used to being evil needs to be good. But this is a comedy, so that's all kinda flipped on its head a little bit. The characters have more going on, the setting and events are at times laugh out loud funny and everything stays entertaining throughout as we watch our protagonist walk a fine line he was created to completely ignore. Narration was done well as well.
