Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don't let you go around again until you get it right.
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future, written in 1655, before she exploded - the world will end on a Saturday.
Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...
People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it's only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day.
This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons - well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel - would quite like the Rapture not to happen.
Oh, 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.
