You should know by now that if there's one thing I'm really looking forward to it's the end of the world. I don't know why, really. Maybe it's for that feeling that all bets are off, all bonds are broken and you can remake yourself in any image you want.

A comical & intelligent look at all the currently discussed ways that the world could end. The illustrations are just as wonderful as the writing. I loved it, and definitely look forward to rereading this book!
An interesting read with a humorous spin on 'Armageddon' if such an event could be humorous!

A funny, colorful book that taught me that we are all, in no uncertain terms, doomed.
