"Good Omens" is a funny and irreverent book by renowned storytellers Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Combing the best of dry British humor with increasingly hilarious scenes, the story concerns an angel and a demon as they search for the anti-Christ in order to begin the final Armageddon. The characters in this novel are wittily written and engaging, and the plot itself is original and creative. I'd imagine this would make a splendid, entertaining movie! Lunacy and hilarity rule the day in this apocalyptic chuckler, and no person or group is safe under Pratchett and Gaiman's fanatical gazes! A worthwhile read.
