One of my favourite things about this book, and this series really, is the metatextuality of it all. This is a story that has a lot of fun playing with the idea of being a story and how it is being told. The diary is the main driver in this, and the way it comments on Loki's plans and corrects him when he goes wrong, and the way it snidely explains human concepts, is just brilliant. It's so funny, sharp and clever and really suits the irreverent style of Loki. The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. Told from the point of view of Loki who is now a child and forced to live on earth as a punishment, his view on mundane mortal things such as school, fronted adverbials in lessons, dog walks, playground games and even breakfast cereal is just so fresh and HILARIOUS.

As Baldur and Thor bond, Loki's attempts to prove he's good start getting a bit desperate. After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, Loki starts to wonder whether there's any point in being good when everyone seems convinced of his villainy.
