Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
A delightfully witty interpretation of Armageddon, including, but not limited to: a demon and angel that share a mutually tolerable friendship with the same mission to save Earth because they've grown rather fond of it; a witch that follows the teachings of her great ancestor Agnes Nutter, and is constantly having to explain that nice meant scrupulous back in the day, not pleasant; the fake anti-christ who was accidentally mislabeled by an incompetent nun; the real anti-christ who becomes rather attached to his gang of young hoodlums and provides a very poignant interpretation of the balance between good and evil; a witch hunter who is only slightly useless to the advancement of the story; and a slew of red shirts that provide mundane and therefore comical vantage points to the end of days.
Seamlessly co-written between the two authors with piles upon piles of irony and sarcasm. A delight.
Point of public laughter: The part about the Infamous Bibles and their typesetting errors including the typesetter who complained in Middle English about being stuck inside on a nice day.
