Good Omens by Neil Gaiman
Harper Collins
Paperback
*ATHENA’S PICK!*
Good Omens is one of my favorite recommendations. I mean, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett writing a book together? What fun! What magic! What humour! (British spelling intentional!) For as much as this book claims to be about the Apocalypse, it is all about how awesome life is, especially in those golden days of youth.
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 . . .
