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

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)

Hilarious

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are always making wonderful world's that not only delight and entertain, but push your world view. What if the world ran a little bit stranger than it does? What if Heaven and Hell weren't really all that different? This is exactly what I hours for when you combine Pratchett's dark comedy with Gaimen's comedic darkness.

Great narration!

love the narration and character voicing. There are a few times it seems the narrator mixed up voices, but it didn't confuse things too much.

Excellent narrator!

Character voices are excellently portrayed with the exact right amount of sarcasm and British humour.

Entertaining, but had to understand some voices

It is nice when the author changes voice for different characters but a couple were difficult to understand.

great story but editing or reader would lose place

Overall excellent Fun story. (Video was better due to being able to follow scene changes better) I had to go back several times. seemed switching between locations, time, and characters would run into each other and i would try and figure out what was happening which would distract from the story. seemed reader was hard to tell at time which character was speaking which when ran into a scene shift caused me to have to back up and listen harder for the shift.
