Even geniuses need practice

Not everything goes to plan at the first attempt… In Da Vinci’s downstairs loo hung his first, borderline insulting, versions of the Mona Lisa. Michelangelo’s back garden was chock-a-block full of ugly lumps of misshapen marble. Even Einstein committed a great ‘blunder’ in his first go at General Relativity. God is no different, this universe may be his masterpiece, but there were many failed versions before it – and they’re still out there.
Far Far Beyond Berlin is a fantasy novel, which tells the story of a lonely, disillusioned government worker’s adventures after being stranded in a faraway universe – Joy World: God’s first, disastrous attempt at creation.
God’s previous universes, a chain of 6 now-abandoned worlds, are linked by a series of portals. Our jaded hero must travel back through them, past the remaining dangers and bizarre stragglers. He’ll join forces with a jolly, eccentric and visually arresting, crew of sailors on a mysteriously flooded world. He’ll battle killer robots and play parlour games against a clingy supercomputer, with his life hanging in the balance. He’ll become a teleportation connoisseur; he will argue with a virtual goose – it sure beats photocopying.
Meanwhile, high above in the heavens, an increasingly flustered God tries to manage the situation with His best friend Satan; His less famous son, Jeff; and His ludicrously angry angel of death, a creature named Fate. They know that a human loose in the portal network is a calamity that could have apocalyptic consequences in seven different universes. Fate is dispatched to find and kill the poor man before the whole place goes up in a puff of smoke; if he can just control his temper…

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Craig Meighan was born in Lanarkshire, in central Scotland. Both a keen drummer and a fan of science fiction, he grew up wanting to be either Animal from The Muppets or Douglas Adams. This has led to an unfortunate habit of smashing up his computer at the end of each writing session. With the ambition of becoming a screenwriter, he attended film college in Glasgow. He spent a short time making corporate videos and then after attending one chance meeting, he accidentally joined the civil service. Intending to stay for one summer, he ended up staying for 12 years (so think carefully before inviting him round for tea). He is too polite to say which of the killer robots, demons and other assorted antagonists that appear in his book, are based on his interactions with actual government ministers. His first novel, Far Far Beyond Berlin, was written in the evenings, after work, every day for a year, at the end of which time his wife Jen convinced him it was time to finally leave the safety of the office job and pursue writing full-time. She cunningly incentivised him by promising that if he managed to get his book published, he could get a big dog. Craig lives with Jen, just outside Glasgow, where they like to play softball, enter pub quizzes and do escape rooms. He is delighted to announce that they are expecting a greyhound. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

Great concept and really funny

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 4 dicembre 2021

Acquisto verificato

I really enjoyed this book; it’s absolutely hilarious and I loved the concept behind it. Suppose there is a god, but he’s not perfect - he’s just a nice guy who tries his best, but keeps getting it wrong. He’s also got a team of helpers behind him who just seem to make things even worse.

It’s centred around one man who accidentally travels to the other universes, all of which were God’s previous attempts to get it right. They had all failed for one reason or another, and the narrator sees the consequences of these failures first hand. The stories behind the universes are hilarious, and they lead to some great characters too - my favourite is probably a robot called Nigel in the mechanical universe, who is extremely powerful, but also very bored and just wants to find something that will pass the time.

The author’s writing style is also great; there’s a lot of social commentary and satire throughout the book, and that definitely adds to the humour. Despite the fantastical nature of the book, so much of it is still relatable to everyday life. There were one or two plot points I found hard to follow, particularly the rationale behind some of God’s more bizarre decisions, but that didn’t detract from the story at all.

I think there’s scope for a sequel to this book too (or even a prequel) - really hope we get one!

Weird but brilliant

Well where do I start! To be honest I wasn't sure if I would like this book as I'm more your murder/mystery sort of reader and not into Syfi (unless it's Star Trek) but I thought what the heck let's give it ago and am so glad I did. Far Far Beyond is an interpretation of how earth is created by taking its main character (who is human by the way) through seven universes, six of which are God's trial and errors! Full of heavenly and not so heavenly characters, a few robots, vortex and talking sheep ... Yep you read that right ... This book is not only funny but a bit thought provoking. BUT be aware this is not a read for those who can't take a tongue in cheek attitude to God's creation of earth as if you don't it will have you shouting Blasphema from the top of Mount Everest, Snowdonia or Ben Lomond, depending where in the country you are! Can't wait to see where Craig's next book takes me.

Funny, unique and very clever

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 27 marzo 2021

Acquisto verificato

A properly funny, laugh out loud,
imaginative and really inventive story, full of surprises, clever twists and ties into existing stories and ideas. Although it's not about religion as such, some religious characters are included but it's really well done - not really offensive. I've looked him up and it's his first book so I've "followed" him on Amazon and hope this means I'll be notified when he releases another one! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to reading it again already - it's a keeper.

Unexpected hit

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 aprile 2021

I'm always wary of new 'funny' authors, I've definitely had some attempts fall flat when I've tried to read them, but this book was a pleasant surprise. Some proper laugh out loud moments, and a kind of Caimh McDonnell feel about it (maybe some similarities in Scottish and Irish humour? Who knows) and obvious Douglas Adams influence - I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to be entertained, and I hope the author writes many more.

It’s funny cause it could be true !

Loved it !! Had some belly laughs along the way! Just the right amount of biblical accuracy with a dash of tripping balls to make a good read. Some good play on the ridiculous notations of society and how to make them great again! Ofcourse all characters are based on fictional ones etc yadayadayada enjoy a good daft read that’s entertaining
