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 . . .

I laughed on almost every single page. Its amazingly written and very nuanced. It has lots of brilliant forshadowing. Basically everything about this good is great. The ending was a tiny bit predictable but that's okay.
Perfect book for waiting out a super typhoon, especially if there is a beer vending machine three floors below you.
I've never been a big fan of Gaiman's work, no matter how often I try. I feel like he has some great story ideas that get lost in his writing. I once started this book nearly 20 years ago and couldn't get past the opening pages. I'm glad I stuck it out this time because it was a fun tale and Pratchett's writing helped immensely.
