What a hoot! Pratchett and Gaiman's collaboration works so well. As usual Gaiman gives us a modern take on Western mythology, in this case Biblical mythology especially Revelations. I was reminded of the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. The humor is very Pratchett. My edition had a Forward and 2 afterwards about writing the novel and how each author worked with the other. It is most impressive and highly recommended.

This book was really funny and a fast page turner. There is one scene with a flaming car that had me in hysterics.
Didn't grab me. Too rambling and repetitive with an unsatisfactory ending, but very clever in places, usually in the footnotes. Not my genre...but I'd recommend it for a fan of fantasy.
