"""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 . . ."

Reviews for Good Omens (Anniversary Edition w New Afterword)

A direct descendant of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. --New York Times [L]ittle asides, quirky observations, simple puns and parody eventually add up to snorts, chortles and outright laughs. --San Diego Union-Tribune Huge fun. --Sunday Express (London) One Hell of a funny book. --Gene Wolfe I whooped . . . I laughed . . . I was in near hysterics.: --New York Review of Science Fiction An utter delight--fresh, exciting, uproariously funny. --Poul Anderson A slapstick Apocalypse, a grinning grimoire, a comic Necronomicon, a hitchhiker's guide to the netherworld. --James Morrow, author of Only Begotten Daughter It could be called The Hitchhiker's Guide to Armargeddon. --Palm Beach Post If you've never read [GOOD OMENS], don't miss it now. Grade: A. --Rocky Mountain News Outrageous . . . read it for a riotous good laugh! --Orlando Sentinel Full-bore contemporary lunacy. A steamroller of silliness that made me giggle out loud. --San Diego Union-Tribune What's so funny about Armageddon? More than you'd think . . . GOOD OMENS has arrived just in time. --Detroit Free Press Something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. --Washington Post Hilarious! --Locus From beginning to end, GOOD OMENS is side-splittingly funny . . . a ripping good time. --Rave Reviews Fiendishly funny. --New Orleans Times-Picayune The Apocalypse has never been funnier. --Clive Barker Irreverently funny and unexpectedly wise . . . Highly recommended. --Library Journal Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python. --San Francisco Chronicle Hilariously naughty. --Kirkus Reviews Wacky and irreverent. --Booklist
