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.

Critic reviews

"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)

Great story with an even better Narrator

The book was fantastic, but the narrator's performance had me in stitches. I've already gifted this audiobook to a friend.

Uneven, but the good parts are great

I would have rated it lower, but the ending bumped it up a star.

Jarvis' narration was as always top notch.

Excellent listen.

I didnt want to finish it. Actually relistened to a few chapters before going on. Audible helps me through my hour long commutes. It is always a joy to have a great story to laugh at in the car and look just slightly off to other drivers. The only reason I didnt give the performance 5 stars is because the American accent he did was a little annoying, just a bit but not enough to discourage anyone from ever getting this book. Hope this helped enjoy!

Great listen, altough bumpy story.

Any additional comments?

I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett. Can't compare this one much with other TP stuff. The story is a bit bumpy and seemed to me a little hectic, but I enjoyed it very much nonetheless.
Great reading performance!

If you like Black Books you’ll enjoy this

Terribly clever, wonderfully funny and interesting. If you’re an American that enjoys British humor you’ll like this book.
