Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The shame, the horror, the ignominy ... I'm about to be run down by an ice-cream van.
After the EMBARRASSING circumstances of his untimely teenage death, Conor is sent to HELL when it turns out he's THREE LIES over the limit for good behaviour. His custom-made TORTURE is to spend ETERNITY in a bleak cave filled with dusty philosophy books and classical music.
But what if Conor's version of HELL is someone else's idea of HEAVEN, and vice versa? Could he escape his TORMENT by swapping places? With his HIDEOUS pet dog, Scrote, at his side, Conor sets out on a mission with his PERSONAL DEVIL and enforcer of EVIL, Clarence, and a MELANCHOLY Viking called Olaf. Together they embark on a REVOLTING, REPULSIVE and RIOTOUS search for Conor's match made in HELL ...

"A wisecracking helterskelter . . . Real boys' stuff . . . but watch out for a twist in the novel's devilish tail" (Hepzibah Anderson Observer)
"A brilliantly nauseating thriller . . . It is a devilishly funny, clever and moving novel" (Amanda Craig The Times)
"Dante for beginners with a serious moral message" (Geraldine Brennan TES)
"Every writer hates to hear the words "stunning new talent" applied to someone else, but in the case of Anthony McGowan nothing else will do" (Meg Rosoff)
