Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman

Great book, Pratchett and Gaiman at their best. The anti-christ has been born, the angels and demons are battling for supremacy, the horsemen of the apocalypse are abroad....but all is going not quite to plan. Very funny and I loved the bit about the M25. This book is a keeper.

Gaiman writes compelling and rather weird fiction, Pratchett is wit personified. They make a great team and I wish they would write some more books together. This is an excellent book, very funny.

A book with everything: clever literary references, learned historical digressions, apocalyptic chaos, the Famous Five (kind of), romance (in a minor way), and the world's best collection of footnotes. It is riotously, laugh-out-loud funny. I have re-read this book more than any other I own (and I don't go in for re-reading as a rule). Even Pratchett-haters and fantasy-phobics should give this a go.
