Synopsis"Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python." -- San Francisco Chronicle The classic novel of angels, demons, and Armageddon from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. Note: This book is available in different packaging, however content is the same. 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 . . ., "Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python." -- San Francisco Chronicle The classic novel of angels, demons, and Armageddon from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

  • Great Condition Book

    Came in clean, great condition, fair pricing. Did have some odd things such as taped together pages but with a used book I can't complain.

  • Good omens indeed

    The amount of sarcasm and side-telling in the story is hilarious. It's the small, strange details that make a book, and both Sir Pratchett and Mr. Gaiman succeed in stellar terms.

    British humor romps across the world when its time for the apocolypse to haplen, much to the dismay of a demon and an angel.
