Good Omens

by Gaiman, Neil

Description

Fantasy has never been so clever or funny as it is in the brilliant Good Omens.Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimen form a super team and pen one of the funniest and best comedic tales out there. The premise is simple: the world is ending, the Apocalypse is coming. The only problem is the angels and demons who are supposed to be ushering in the apocalypse decide they rather like humans and each other and maybe Armageddon is a bad idea after all. The book is a not so subtle satire on just about everything and anything, lampooning everything from Elvis sightings to televangelists and the destruction of the universe. It's good stuff, hilariously funny stuff. A must read. A good stand alone book? I'll do one better, it's one of the best fantasy books ever written, period. Good Omens also made our Top 25 Best Fantasy Books list. So if you haven't read this remarkable book, don't waste any more time on this list. Make Good Omens your next read!
