Oh. My. God.
This was one of the funniest books I have ever read. The writing was phenomenal and I could see myself and others I know in many of the quirky characters.
Good and Evil's earthly representatives discover that the time for the Apocalyse has arrived and they're not too happy about it. You see, they've grown to like life on Earth. And besides, Evil (with a capital 'E') itself couldn't possibly do worse things to mankind than what mankind does to itself.
And the antichrist's name is Adam, for cryin' out loud! (Not to mention that his trusty sidekick, aptly named "Dog", rather likes being a real dog and doesn't want to go back to being a hellhound; he'd miss the smells!)
My favorite line (and it was a tough decision, believe me!):
"This is how Newton Pulsifer looked as a man: if he went into a phone booth and changed, he might manage to come out looking like Clark Kent."
And don't forget the other Four Horsemen of ...more
