The language is a little pretentious (what do you expect from the Devil), but it's not difficult to understand. The premise is that God offers fallen angel Lucifer one last chance to redeem himself by giving him a month as a human being, during which time he must behave himself. He ends up in the would-be-suicide body of Declan Gunn, a somewhat schlubby single writer. Lucifer decides to use Declan's connections to the literary world to write his memoirs. It goes into a lot of what really happened "In the Beginning..." according to Lucifer, but I didn't find it offensive; more just interesting food for thought. It was a fun read.
