Good Omens
Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett
434 pages
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
This book is a must-read for its unique blend of humor and fantasy, leaving readers with a lasting impact that makes them want to revisit it time and again.
This book offers a slightly more grounded yet still fantastical tale, making it a great read for fans of quirky storytelling.
A thoroughly enjoyable fictional end-of-the-world story that resonates even more while witnessing real-life events.
