This is Monty Python's version of the apocalypse and Revelation. If that sounds good to you, then you'll definitely enjoy it. The ending also ties in some ideas about how we as humanity think about the end of our world and how we don't, and I appreciated that reminder as an anything-but-subtle moral of the story in a novel where subtlety is nowhere to be found. 

The only critique I have is more preference-based and it's the wild structure. I found it difficult to feel like I could set aside the novel because of its strange “chapter” breaks that are inconsistent in length. It does help the flow when I'm reading, but it drastically hurts my head when trying to reach a good stopping point.
