According to “The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter,”
“Witch” (the world's only “completely” accurate book of prophecies,
written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next
Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are
falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine
Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon–both of whom have
lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of
the lifestyle–are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
“Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python.”
New York Review of Science Fiction
“I whooped . . . I laughed . . . I was in near hysterics.:
Palm Beach Post
“It could be called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Armargeddon.”
Rocky Mountain News
“If you’ve never read [GOOD OMENS], don’t miss it now. Grade: A.”
Locus
“Hilarious!”
Orlando Sentinel
“Outrageous . . . read it for a riotous good laugh!”
Sunday Express (London)
“Huge fun.”
New York Times
“A direct descendant of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
“The birth of the Antichrist in a London hospital begins the countdown to
Armageddon. As the forces of both Heaven and Hell anticipate the coming battle
to decide the world's fate, a desperate few–including an angel with a taste
for rare books, a demon in mirrorshades, the descendant of the world's most
accurate prophetess, a part-time witchfinder, four young children, and a
dog–race against time to prevent it. Irreverently funny and unexpectedly wise,
this collaboration between comics writer Gaiman and Discworld series author
Pratchett fuses fantasy and comedy into an untrammeled romp through the latter
days. Highly recommended for fantasy and general fiction collections.”
