because there are some very interesting theological views
including my favourite- the fortunate fall, which as an extrapolation includes that the devil had to fall to have his place in things

Felix culpa
the idea that from misfortune comes good, and that the fall from Eden was necessary in order to achieve full being

I haven't read I, Lucifer, is it good?

I'm trying to remember whether that is mentioned in I, Lucifer.
I really enjoyed it. You'll tear through it. The writing style is kind of like someone is telling the story to you really fast and kind of twitchily.

if it is mentioned
it'll be in a different sense since felix culpa has it as part of God's plan.

What is it about?

God offers Lucifer another chance
he says that if Lucifer lives as a human for the rest of the human's life and behaves himself he'll be allowed back. Lucifer gets a month's free trial. The body he occupies is a failing writer and Lucifer sets about writing a screenplay etc. for a film about creation and his fall.

nope
Read it. It's worth a go. Some of the concepts are quite interesting, and the story is amusing.
