Good Omens

Rating:
Summary: A riotous romp through the Apocalypse!
Review: I never knew the end of the world would be so funny! Yet here, Armageddon has a whole new look and feel to it. The good guys and the bad guys are hard to tell apart at times, and it can be difficult to decide who you're pulling for. A decidedly unorthodox view of things, Good Omens made me laugh out loud as I read -- and if you knew me, you'd realize there could be no higher praise for this delightful book

Summary: The end of the world's never been so funny
Review: Fans of either Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett will love this book.It tells the story of a reluctant anti-christ, who having been switched at birth, is raised as a normal boy. When Adam and his friends decide to destroy the world and start again (kids, eh?) he realises just how much resonsibility he has for the fate of mankind. This book has everything, humour, likeable (and more to the point convincing) characters,and an exciting plot leading to a climactic ending. For a book about the Apocalypse there are thankfully few morals

Rating:
Summary: Hysterically funny; A great read.
Review: If books are based on a 2000-calorie per day diet, Good Omens is Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Rating:
Summary: Witty, dark, and thought-provoking.
Review: Wouldn't it be amusing if the world really did (nearly) end like this?? A laugh-out-loud, tounge-in cheek look at religion in the world today

Summary: The BEST book ever concerning the Apocalype!!!!!!
Review: Gaiman and Pratchett have outdone themselves with their slant of the Apocalypse in "Good Omens". They find every nuance in in Bible and play it up with their styles. Speaking of their styles, I have not seen a collaboration run so smoothly as this, and I hope to see much more come from these two! This is a must-read for everyone who has ever wondered about what exactly Angels and Devils think of all of us "hairless monkeys". Just the Prologue on their view of Genesis will keep you rolling on the floor for hours! It seems that both authors have outdone themselves in this book

Summary: the 4 motorcyclists of the Apocolypse & "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
Review: This book serves as one of my "tests" of compatibility with friends.... Love it, or leave me! Neil Gaiman, my all-time-favorite fantasy author, has outdone himself in this collaboration. In the 7 years or so since I first read this book, I've given it as a gift to scores of people, and have had to replace my own copy numerous times, due to "forgetful" borrowers. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll check the forgotten cassettes in your glove compartment... and you'll never look at poorly-designed motorways the same way again

Summary: Uproarious Religious Satire
Review: Fundamentalists and religious zealots beware. Pratchett and Gaiman combine brilliantly to take shots at good, evil, Armageddon, and the Anti-Christ. This is religious satire at its best

Rating:
Summary: WARNING !
Review: Do not read this book in public ! Even for the 5th or 6th time around. It should still bring you out in hysterics (unless there is something drastically wrong with you) and you might end up tucked away in an asylum. Terry Pratchett claims that the devil made them do it. Still, this book ought to be reimbursed by social security.

Summary: Amazing good stuff!
Review: This is a terribly funny book, and it can be used as sort of a personality test. If you let someone read this book and they don't think it is funny, then that person probably scores well into the negative on the personality scale. (They are an anti-person) ((Like anti-matter, but less explosive and much more annoying)

Summary: Amazingly funny
Review: Absolute brilliance from the respective authors of The Sandman and the Discworld series. Magic. If ever a cohesive explanation of the christian faith there was, this is it. Easily the funniest book I've ever read
