About this listen
When Cassie's twin sister, Lissa, commits suicide, Cassie discovers she can travel to Hell to retrieve her sister's soul. Cassie thought she knew all about the Hell of legend, but finds Hell has evolved over the millennia into a bustling city full of the damned with looming skyscrapers, crowded streets, systemized evil, and atrocity as the status quo.
Hell is a city. It stretches, literally, without end-a labyrinth of smoke and waking nightmare. Just as endlessly, sewer grates belch flame from the sulfur fires that have raged beneath the streets for millennia. Clock towers spire in every district, by public law, but their faces have no hands; time is not measured here in seconds or hours but in atrocity and despair. In the center of this morass of stone and smoke and butchery and horror stands the 666-floor Mephisto Building, where Gargoyles prowl the wind-blown ledges and from whose highest garrets the innocent are hung from gibbets and left to rot for eons. The lone occupant of the very top floor looks down upon his dominion and smiles a smile that is brighter than 1,000 suns. Here, yes, everyone is dead yet everyone lives forever. Welcome to the Mephistopolis. Welcome to the city of Hell. Welcome.

Loved the book
I love the concept of this book. It’s so well thought out and clever. A hell very much like our own only twisted and churned into plausible evil workings. The plot is also a great one, with a brilliant twist at the end. In a bit she’ll (and with no spoilers) it’s about a girl who goes to hell to find her sister. If I say anything else I would just spoil it.
The only negative is the narrator. Through no fault of his own he has a real American drawl which I found initially very very off putting. I wanted to wind him up and inject him with a shot of the dramatics. However, luckily I persevered and eventually, after about twenty minutes or so, I forgave him and let the story just take me. Read the book first and then try this audiobook, it will make you want to hang in there all the more. In conclusion, I loved the book and I liked this audiobook. Give it a go x

So so ...
Premise is interesting and the start is good. But it turns out the city in hell is just a warped version of the normal cities. And there is to much explaining of how things work in hell, machines and social constructs among other things. Dry explanations, like in a text book about how to build an engine or repair a vacuum cleaner. But I'm not dissapointed, I knew what to expect; the story is what it is, written by Edward Lee. And despite shortcomings, worth one credit and a readthrough.

Not my taste at all
Too much a YA story for my liking. Too may stuff were too convenient. One positive thing I can say is that there is a lot of imagination in there, but I felt it lacked substance.
