Fate, also known as Fabio, is bored with his job. It seems like humans always make decisions that change their path for the worse and all he can do is observe over and over again as people destroy their life. But then he starts to break the rules. First, he falls in love with a mortal then after accidentally influencing the outcome of a human's path he decides that rules or no rules, he needs to make a difference in his humans lives. But he is not going to be able to keep his transgressions secret for long. I thought that this book was OK, it was hard for me to like any of the characters. I think that the humor did not speak to me. It seemed like it was trying to go for the kind of humor that Moore was successful with in Lamb, but it fell short for me. However I am a sucker for books with personifications of immortal concepts and there were times that the authors musings on the differences between Fate and Destiny and what it means to be human were interesting enough to bump up the rating half a star.
