Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Monty Python in a very amusing version of the biblical apocalypse. Will probably only appeal to those who enjoy this type of humor. On those grounds, your mileage may very. Two thumbs up from me!

I love this book. Absolutely hysterical. I've read it no less than 5 times and it's fantastic every time. I've also owned 3 different copies of it because they wind up being stolen from me, everyone I know that has read it has loved it. I definitely reccomend it.

Who would have thought that the coming of Armageddon would be hilariously funny? Nobody but Pratchett and Gaiman---and they make the readers crack up laughing too!
We hear the world will end on a Saturday . . . next Saturday.
But Sister Mary Loquacious of the Chattering Order has misplaced the Antichrist. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (in Hell's Angels leathers) ride motorcycles. And the representatives of Heaven and Hell have decided that they actually LIKE the human race . . . so do we absolutely HAVE to hold Armageddon now?

If this book isn't on your wish list... well that probably means you've already read it. But still, this is the greatest pre post apocalypse story ever. A true must read.

The end of the world will be happening next week, by the way. It takes a band of children (and a dog) plus "agents" from Heaven and Hell to make it all better. Hilarious!

What a fun read! I had the best time with this book and even remarked to my husband that it would make a hilarious movie. Some parts are definitely British humor (and not that easy to understand), but it doesn't matter. The whole thing is wonderful.

I enjoyed this book. It's not one that I'd read more than once though. Good Omens was very much like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Monty Pyton in humor!

This is pretty good, actually. It starts being more clever than funny, but ends very satisfactorily. Good read.

Well that is if you're a Gaiman fan, a Pratchett fan, or both. You could also be a fan of Douglas Adams, or Monty Python. But then it really isn't necessary to be a fan of any of them at all.
In brief: Seemingly Normal British kid is actually the AntiChrist. Screwed up demon and even more screwed up angel set off on a quest to find him. Along with the Witchfinder general, his bumbling assistant and- like the kid needed more worries- the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Hilarity (with a side of possible nuclear destruction) ensues.
I've read it time and time again, and I refuse to swap this one. Get your own.

Go on, get your own.

One of my favorite books, ever; I heard of it on a writing website and decided to give it a try. Totally worth getting and reading, and probably keeping.

This is a hilarious comedy about the apocolypse and one that EVERYONE should read, regardless of religious background. Satire at it's best!

This has to be the funiest book i have ever read. After reading this book I trully velieve that god does have a sencee of humore.

Reminded me of "Letters from Earth" by Mark Twain. Very funny without being mean. If your faith is shaken by this it needs to be.

couldn't finish it, too far out for me.

very funny

Every book by Neil Gaiman is great.

A light-hearted account of the Apocalypse a la Terry Pratchett.

It was funny, but not for the weak of faith.

Covers everything from Creation to the Apocolypse, but probably misses a few things in between.

science fiction that is funny, outrageous, silly - by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett!

End of the world - next Saturday! "The Apocolypse has never been funnier"
