I’ve been told to go to Hell more times than I can count. But this time I’m actually going.
My name’s Bobby Dollar, sometimes known as Doloriel, and of course, Hell isn’t a great place for someone like me—I’m an angel. They don’t like my kind down there, not even the slightly fallen variety. But they have my girlfriend, who happens to be a beautiful demon named Casimira, Countess of Cold Hands. Why does an angel have a demon girlfriend? Well, certainly not because it helps my career.
She’s being held hostage by one of the nastiest, most powerful demons in all of the netherworld—Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell. He already hates me, and he’d like nothing better than to get his hands on me and rip my immortal soul right out of my borrowed but oh-so-mortal body.
But wait, it gets better! Not only do I have to sneak into Hell, make my way across thousands of miles of terror and suffering to reach Pan- demonium, capital of the fiery depths, but then I have to steal Caz right out from under Eligor’s burning eyes and smuggle her out again, past demon soldiers, hellhounds, and all the murderous creatures imprisoned there for eternity. And even if I somehow manage to escape Hell, I’m also being stalked by an undead psychopath named Smyler who’s been following me for weeks. Oh, and did I mention that he can’t be killed?
So if I somehow survive Hell, elude the Grand Duke and all his hideous minions and make it back to the real world, I’ll still be the most hunted soul in Creation. But at least I’ll have Caz. Gotta have something to look forward to, right?
So just pour me that damn drink, will you? I’ve got somewhere to go.

From Publishers Weekly
The second installment of Williams's urban fantasy series (after The Dirty Streets of Heaven) starts off, like the previous installment, with wisecracking Bobby Dollar (aka the Angel Doloriel) proving he never lets facts or good sense stand in the way of a suicidally foolish course of action. Bobby, on indefinite leave from work as a soul-saving angel, is pining away for his demon girlfriend, Caz, Countess of the Cold Hands, who's now in Hell with her owner, Eligor the Horseman. Bobby is also being hunted by a twice-dead psycho-killer demon, Smyler, demanding the magical golden feather that Bobby stole from none other than Eligor. Wearing a new demon body and persona, Bobby embarks on a chaotic cloak-and-dagger mission through Hell's many levels of infernal protocols and punishments to rescue Caz. Fans are assured of dark humor, even darker adventures, and quirky characters in this solid read, though the too-long stay in Hell sometimes slows the storyline. Agent: Matt Bialer, Sanford J. Greenberger Associates. (Sept.)
Review
“When I heard that Tad Williams was writing an urban fantasy novel, I got all tingly. Now I’ve read it, and it’s even better than I’d dared to hope. It’s snarky, fast-paced, and above all, original. You should be tingly, too.”
—Patrick Rothfuss, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
“A noir fantasy series with a dark and thrilling story of Heaven and Hell battling for human souls. Exhilarating action, fascinating characters, and high stakes will leave the reader both satisfied and eager for the next installment.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Fans as well as urban fantasy enthusiasts will enjoy Williams’s take on Heaven’s less desirable places as well as his wry humor and keen insights.”
—Library Journal, Starred Review
“With a hint of detective noir, a colorful cast of characters and fast-paced, witty dialogue, The Dirty Streets of Heaven is a fantastically fun read.”
—Amazon.co.uk Editors’ Pick
“Delicious, crunchy, Hellish fun.... Bobby’s odyssey makes for a compelling, page-turning experience, chock-full of visceral sights and sensory overload.”
—Tor.com

Dissapointing
By Masha du Toit
What a disappointment. This has none of the charm of the first book. Dirty Streets has an intriguing mystery at its center: the main character ( an angel called Bobby Dollar) is an advocate to the recently dead, arguing for the release of their souls to heaven. When a client's soul goes missing, he gets framed. That was a great premise, and I was happy to spend time with Bobby as he tried to make sense of it all.
In Happy Hour, the plot is that Bobby Dollar is obsessed with getting his demon girlfriend Caz out of hell. Why? Because a) she's beautiful, b) she's beautiful, c) she's beautiful and d) they had great sex. Oh, and he is sorry for her.
In Dirty Streets, Bobby was a great character. A tough guy with a unexpected sensitive and thoughtful side, who never took himself too seriously. He was funny. In Happy Hour, Bobby comes across as a infatuated, self-pitying drunk.
His demonic crush Caz, or the Countess Cazimira of the Cold Hands, seems to have lost most of her personality. In Dirty Streets she was an impressive lady, scary, angry, cold, clever, and infinitely dangerous. In Happy Hour she spends all her time looking sad, or dangling limply from the hand of her captor. Caz from the first book didn't need to wait around for some drunken angel to rescue her.
Most of Happy Hour is about Bobby travelling through hell and encountering various yucky, horrid, stinky, nasty things. Some of this was interesting. The best part is when Bobby gets his brain back for a moment and wonders why hell and heaven work the way they do, or when he tries to make sense of the ideas of punishment, morality, and guilt. For example, he encounters my favourite character in the book, a monster called Riprash. Riprash is convinced that even the damned can still be forgiven and ascend to heaven, and holds little prayer meetings with other damned. That stuff was interesting!
Also, hell was boring. Compared to, for example, Ursula Le Guin's depiction of the afterlife in The Farthest Shore, which was truly frightening, this was just yucky. Williams falls back on old favorite techniques, and hell is pretty much just disgusting combinations of body parts sewn together /insecty thingies / eyeballs in jelly with the occasional "ew, genitals are gross" bits thrown in to spice things up.
There's a glimpse of hope when one of (the many, many, many) torture scenes takes place in what looks like a Holiday Inn conference room. That's more like it! But other than that, its watered down Hieronymus Bosch territory all the way.
Tad Williams is one of my favorite writers, but something went badly wrong here. I won't be reading the third book.

Nobody ever took you to Hell like Tad Williams does
By ylvs
The title is misleading: There is a lot of Hell and I am not sure the book ever makes it to Happy Hour.
This is the second installment of Tad Williams' new series about angel Bobby Dollar aka Doloriel, working as a heavenly advocate for the souls of the recently deceased.
The book starts where the first - The Dirty Streets of Heaven - left off: Bobby is trying to sort out the mysteries he is faced with
- while plotting to free his demon lover Caz from Eligor the Horseman Grand Duke of Hell,
- while having to defend his recent actions to his superiors in Heaven,
- while being pursued by a serial killer who died in the 1970s.
The reader gets (re)aquainted with the fictional Bay Area city San Judas, Bobby's buddies (nicknamed the Whole Sick Choir) and Heaven's unfathomable politics.
The novel starts fast paced, weird, exciting and funny, very similar to the first one but it is not nescessary to know it - although I bet that everybody who doesn't will pick it up afterwards.
And then Bobby enters hell.
It is horrible. It is disgusting. It is funny. It is heart-wrenching.
It seems endless. It is Hell.
Apart from the excellent and vivid descriptions of Hell (nobody does world building as convincing as Tad Williams) the characters (established and new) make the novel burst with life and hope as well as torture and despair. For example, Gob the lost child who was born in Hell and hence never had a life on earth. Or Riprash the slave trading demon with a truly astonishing agenda of his own.
Once Bobby is out of Hell things hurry towards the showdown and the admittedly not too surprising final twist & afterwards I was left craving for more. As Caz says "It's never over, Bobby darling. Hell doesn't work that way."
This novel is an emotional tour de force. I had to put it down repeatedly because I needed time to recover and to think.
It's been a long time that I read fiction which left me so emotionally drained as well as intellectually stimulated. It also made me laugh for minutes in the most unexpected moments.
I appreciated the witty concept of a static and bureaucratic Heaven with memory wiped souls who spent their eternity in blissful stupor (as established in Dirty Streets) contrasted with an evolving and chaotic Hell where the damned - fully aware of who they were and are - struggle for survival and change.
One could argue that the part in hell is too long and not important to the plot in all its detail. I do not. Yes, it's 250 pages of Bobby trying to get to and free Caz (and some other stuff). Yes, the book could be shorter and keep its fast pace all through the story.
Then it might just be a damn well written urban fantasy horror thriller keeping true to its genre.
But luckily Williams never cared for genre conventions and this novel contains much more, it has multifold layers.
It is for example a philosophical treatise about the concept of eternal damnation. It is a tragic love story. It is a journey to the soul. It cannot be shorter.
The main engine of the plot is the Bobby Caz love story. I have a soft spot for Romeo and Juliet type tragedies and muchly enjoyed this classic theme taken to the extreme: a love between an angel and a demon. I totally buy Doloriel and Casimira and am again impressed how Williams writes sex scenes without letting them become either pornographic or romantic schmalz.
I was a tad bit disappointed though to see none of the loose ends the reader is left with at the end of Dirty Streets woven in the story. How did Leo die? Who is behind the Third Way? What was Eligor's gain in the deal with a high-up-in-the-food-chain angel in the first place? Does God exist? And what about Lucifer?
These questions are just hinted at throughout the novel. Being the master storyteller that Williams is, he'll wrap them all up satisfyingly and surprisingly in the next book Sleeping Late on Judgment Day which I would rather read tomorrow instead of next year.
I love and admire all of Tad Williams' books - Happy Hour in Hell is one of the best he has written to date.
I thank Deborah Beale for the copy she sent me - I bought the book already thrice for friends in the meantime.

Bitter disappointment from a big Tad Williams fan.
By Gogogadgetman77
I am not even sure where to start so I'll just start naming what comes to mind first. NOTE: There may be some MINOR spoilers in this review. Nothing major, only small happenings, as well as a few happening from the first book of the series.
First I will start with character development. From the very beginning something seems off with our main character, ol' Bobby Dollar. It seems, he is not just somehow different, but more like part of what made him interesting and lovable...was just, gone. He seems much more shallow now and less prepared than he usually is. Granted he is going in to hell, but even still his triumphs are almost ALWAYS about luck in this novel, rather than a little luck, good planning, and Use of his quick thinking intelligent brain,(like the first of the series) it always ended up coming down to random, dumb luck. Next, there was one point in the book where tragic things happen to Bobby, and he even states that it changed him and he was no longer the same person. (Not in those words or like that of course.) Then when the tragedy was over (also over-come by luck) he goes right back to exactly how he was before, he reacted the same, he felt and predicted the same. In truth nothing had changed. Which brings me to this point, Tad Williams did not do a good job of actually SHOWING change in this character. It was almost like, "hey I said it changed me so that should be good enough for you." It is kind of like having a cheating significant other, and them telling you, "But I have changed! I'll never do it again!", only for them to keep doing it over and over again. It isn't logical and it makes no sense.
Since Bobby came into contact with so many people in hell, it was hard to have any other character development besides what you learn nearly right away about the individual. There were only a few small occasions where you were surprised what another character did, or you learned something new, or even had a character learn and grow with the plot of the story.
Which brings me to my biggest problem. The complete lack of a plot. When you are done reading the book, you realize you and bobby dollar are in the exact same place you were when you started. Granted, you learn a few details on the way that had not been patched up in the first book. But overall nothing really changed.
In fact, I found myself skimming. I never skim. This is because for about 250 pages Bobby dollar is in hell, and you realize later you could have learned and developed the story just as much if it was cut down to about 30 pages. Some people on Amazon complain there was too much torture and suffering. I guess they wanted a dumbed down version of hell. I would have been perfectly fine with all this, IF it would have had more meaning to the plot of the story. When it comes down to it, you just read 250 pages that were no more than the description of what Tad Williams hell looks and feels like. That's pretty much it. The small sub-plots created with his journey in hell did not effect or enrich the main story in any way. It was....filler. All filler. On top of that Caz doesn't even seem quite the same. She went from strong, powerful, and meaningful to....helpless, hopeless, and pathetic.
This brings me to my final big problem. The relationship between Caz and Bobby. In the first novel you can see WHY Bobby Dollar is so intrigued by Caz. You can even feel it yourself while you read. The beauty, her strong will, her flirty attitude, Her Ying went with his Yang. But, now all those features are gone besides her beauty. She doesn't have a single moment where her strong will shows, not even a bit of her devilish confidence is portrayed in the slightest. This naturally leaves only the beauty left. This makes Bobby dollar seem shallow, even infatuated like a boy in middle school obsessed with a girl because she kissed him on the cheek. There is no substance anymore besides how clear it is that Bobby misses her beauty. Even in the small stories about the past with Caz and bobby feel shallow. There's no substance, no give and take, no back and forth like there was before. Remember that amazing moment in the first book where they are trying to kill each other, then they end up embracing and loving each other?...Thus, beginning there relationship so to speak. There are ZERO moments like that in this book. By the time I was done with Happy Hour in Hell, I was even asking myself, "Why is Bobby doing all this for her?". She was dismissive and almost completely uninterested except for one small part. I had to go back and remind myself of the energy and excitement filled moments they had in the first book to remember why Bobby Dollar even suffered and fought like he had to, just to try and save her. Now isn't that sad?
To me, especially the last two points, this book is lazy, and boring. I am all ready invested now and so I will read the third installment. But I am going to be a little more weary of his next series he creates, and I will probably wait until most of the books are out so I can see what others feel before I go and waste my hard earned money like I did on this book. Possibly two more books since it will drive me nuts to not at least know what happens in the end...Knowing they might be just as bad as Happy Hour in Hell.
If you LOVED the first installment then I guess you might as well read this one, but be ready for disappointment. However, if you found fault and even only "liked" the first book, move along and check out Tad Williams in his other workings such as the otherland,shadowmarch, or really almost any of his other books. Because I promise you Tad Williams is MUCH better than this, this book is NOT an example of what Tad Williams is capable of creating.
