A unique look at the Apocalypse.

The description sounding interesting and I've usually liked Neil Gaiman's stories, this collaboration with Terry Pratchett (heard of, not read anything by)worked quite well.

It's an over-the-top, just-go-with-it look at the end of the world as we know it.

I tried reading this twice in the past few years. I was just barely able to stand finishing it as an audiobook. There's so much potential in everything in this novel, but it's just boring.

I felt like the characters were flat and uninteresting. It's clear while reading that the dialogue is meant to seem natural, but it's not. The "funny" parts are so obviously supposed to be funny that they're not. The attempts at wackiness often interrupt what had been a good flow in the story.

If you're a Pratchett fan, you'll probably enjoy this because it's pretty typical of his writing; otherwise, I'd suggest skipping this one

Fantastic! This was an excellent listen. Great story; good narration and just fun. An Angel and Demon living through the ages of the world and becoming best friends while doing it. And together they help avert the apocalypse. It was simply brilliant.
