This book was difficult to read because of the poor quality of the printing - reason unknown. Harry Joy is an advertising executive. He has a heart attack and during the subsequent operation he has an out-of-body experience. He decides that he has died and is in hell. It is a great story, built on a good premise and is very enjoyable.

An interesting and enjoyable book, his first but not Gill's. Initially Gill didn't like the book because she didn't like the characters but when the elephant sat on the car she realised she had been taking it too seriously. Once she knew it was tongue in cheek she enjoyed it much more.

His first book, which had been reviewed previously by Gill - who explained that until the elephant sat on the car the book really didn't look promising... Doreen did not understand the book, which seemed to be a modern fable about the human condition, and didn't enjoy it.
