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)

Blasphemous!

What a blasphemous book, Disney should immediately cancel it! How dare HBO commission such an unholy work?? Make sure to boycott Apple so they never produce anything so evil again!!

The end of the world couldn't be more entertaining

The title says it all. Neil Gaiman never disappoints. Characters, story and details. Everything you can ask for in a fantasy book. This is by far my favorite book Gaiman has wrote. The ending is perfect and leaves you thinking. quite a few quotes that will stick with you after reading this book. There really isnt anything negative to say about this book. If you're into comedy and want to be transported to another world, give this book a go, you wont regret it.

Love the narrator

Storyline has a tendency to go off on some tangents that made it hard to stay focused on the main plot. Overall, i think i would have enjoyed it better reading it myself. I will say though that the narrator did a fantastic job!

The Best Audiobook

Martin Jarvis belongs in a pantheon of heavenly audiobook narrators. And Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett deliver a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, and strangely also wise. This is the best audiobook I’ve listened to.

A personal favorite

This is a funny, well written, surprising novel by two of the greatest authors of our time. The narrator is brilliant, and really brings each character to vivid life.

Still laughing & the narrator was fabulous!

This book is a hoot! I laughed all the way through and enjoyed it immensely. Love, love, loved the narrator. His voice for each character was spot on.
