Kurzbeschreibung
The management buy-out of Hell wasn't going quite as well as had been hoped. For a start, there had been that nasty business with the perjurors, and then came the news that the Most Wanted Man in History had escaped, and all just as the plans for the new theme park, EuroBosch, were underway.

I'm going to Eurobosch!
31. Oktober 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Almost back to his original stride, this is probably the Holt that I've enjoyed the most in the last five books. That enjoyment can also be summarized in one word: Eurobosch. Yes, following DisneyWorld, the MGM Grand Theme Park, Atlantic City, and Cyberia, the most famous theme park in all of history is now open for business. Based on that mad genious Hieronymous Bosch and his most famous work, "The Garden of Earthly Delights," and operated by the holding company of Beelzebub, et al. You don't have to take the painting and imagine what thrilling rides and attractions are available--Holt has it down.
That's just a part of the book, though. The plot concerns a certain George Faustus who has managed to effect an escape from Hell, right during an impending audit. Now that Hell's operated as a business-- once you start reinventing government, it was inevitable--the loss of a major asset can't be tolerated, and the chase is on.
The good parts here are equal to his previous best, parts like Helen of Troy being a lovely and perfect little woman with a slight penchant for decorating. In the time of Homer, that couldn't amount to much (what? a curtain over the castle window?), but with centuries of design to choose from.... And Leonardo da Vinci--wasn't he just the greatest geek that ever lived? And that's only a couple of the strange yet amusing additions to the lives of historical and fictional personages in the story.

Not Up To Holt's Usual Standard
28. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
As a big fan of Tom Holt I was rather disappointed in this novel.
This is as funny as any of his other books but is somewhat lacking in characters. The main characters are Lucky George Faustus, who has escaped from Hell, and Kurt Lundqvist, the greatest bounty hunter of all time. The problem is that even after finishing the book the reader is still left with no direction as to which side they should root for. Is this a twist like in Bedazzled where the Devil is the good guy or are the characters just not defined enough? I don't know but the book was definitely missing something.

Tom Holt has no equals
9. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
While not quite up to the 5-star standard of EXPECTING SOMEONE TALLER, FAUST AMONG EQUALS is certainly more than equal to the task of entertaining a reader for an afternoon. Holt's unique spin on theology, literature, and popular culture continues to be worth the price of admission to the "Disney-meets-Dante" theme-park ride contained between the covers of this novel.
