Who knew the end of the world could be so much fun? Apparently even the end of the world isn't quite the foregone conclusion one might expect, the way things turn out in Good Omens.

Ok, so if you're already a Terry Pratchett fan you already expect to have a lot of fun reading any book he's involved with. Some things are simply obvious, after all.

But what are all the powers of Heaven and Hell to do when the infant Antichrist is misplaced, but no one notices until a week before the end of the world? We're talking major trouble here.

Folks, this one is just plain hilarious and I don't want to give too much away. It wouldn't spoil the book, but I'm a little worried that Agnes Nutter might disapprove. She foresaw the whole thing, after all, in her book "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter," and even she didn't give away the ending.

Crowley, a fallen angel, and Aziraphale, one of your standard Heavenly angels, have been working on Earth since the world began. They're pretty good friends by now and aren't always sure whether they should be representing their particular sides or if they should be opposing each other. 

Oh, and don't trust too much to Agnes' prophecies. She's pretty hard to understand and really doesn't always understand what she saw before she wrote it down.

You also have to love how the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been spending time while waiting for the Apocalypse to actually happen. Everyone needs a job, right?

If you need a laugh, just get this book. Every here and there I find out someone didn't enjoy their book, and what can I say? You definitely have to appreciate the British sense of humor too.
