This book is a great humorous interpretation of Armageddon. Who would think that the end of the world could be funny? Apparently these great authors.
Keeping in tune with traditional stories of the Apocalypse, the Anti-Christ, earth-bound angels and demons; Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett weave a delightful tale about the end of the world, everyone's opinion on it, and the very level headed little boy that is supposed to be the Anti-Christ.
When the Powers that Be decide it is time and begin to unleash the great old plan, it is up to one strange partnership between an Angel and a Demon to save the world. Not because they care you see... but because one has a book store to maintain and the other can't live without the music of Queen.
With the help of some Witch Hunters and one descendant who carries the craziest but true prophecies about their situation, the Angel and the Demon do their best to prevent the downfall of mankind.. and it's not easy. It's a true surprise to find out who actually does save the day in the end.
Great book.
