Terry Pratchett , Neil Gaiman: Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch


Armageddon is coming. The representatives of Heaven and Hell should be preparing and getting their troops ready for the final battle. However, as they have lived on Earth for thousands of years, they have gotten pretty used to living on Earth and have become more or less friends. They are also used to taking care of each others' duties. Neither of them is very keen on making great changes to their arraignment. But the forces of evil are moving, and the antichrist will be born… not exactly to the family he was supposed to be born into, but rather into a very ordinary family that will provide him with a very ordinary education and he has a few very good friends. So the plan isn’t going in the right direction. 

A fun, ironic book filled with humorous observations, fun episodes, and interesting characters. I was pretty surprised (and a little disappointed - I hoped there would be MORE things in the book) at how very, very close the TV adaptation was. Enjoyable reading where the plot wasn’t the main thing, the way things happen was.
