What a funny, funny book this is. It's thought-provoking too. If I were a die-hard millennialist, I probably would have been extremely offended. I might have even tossed this book. But, I'm a Lutheran. We have a sense of humor about religion and can tell the difference between satire and bashing. I also grew up in the era of "The Omen", "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist." Many of the jokes requires a knowledge of these books/movies to make any sense. It also helps if you've actually read the last book in the Bible. It would probably be a good idea to read Revelations through once right before reading "Good Omens". I know I had to refer to the part about the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

I won't say anything more. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone.
