Publisher's Summary

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Put New York Times best-selling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett together...and all Hell breaks loose.

©1990 Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett; (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers

What the Critics Say

"Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again." (Amazon.com review)

True to Pratchett's gift for sly humor and Gaiman's gift of creating a tale that makes you feel good. Funny all the way through, engaging and just plain good.

I loved this book! I couldn't stop laughing. If you like your humor a little irreverent and cheeky this is the book for you.

I felt I should write a short review in defense of my 2 star rating. To be honest, I only made it through 2 hours of the book, but it wasn't funny. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the humor comes across as very British. I like Python and Ricky Gervais, but this simply didn't make me smile. YMMV
