A high school favorite. I haven't reread it since maybe 2010 but I knew exactly which parts of the miniseries were direct quotes.

2019 review: Interesting reading this 10 years later how my opinion of the way the book ends changed. I was actually moved by it this time. Very finely crafted novel, though the footnotes bothered me more this time.
2009 review: Loads of fun for another end of the world story. Great characters, terrific discourse on good vs evil, God vs Satan, and what really is the point of all that discourse anyway! A little pat in its conclusion, but highly entertaining reading all the way.

I think I read this years ago, but it made for a great beach re-read. Laugh aloud funny at times and just smart, witty writing overall. Very enjoyable!
If you like these authors, you'll like this book. They do pretty good impressions of each other's writing as well, so sometimes it's hard to tell if Gaiman is trying to throw some Pratchett-style humor in there or if Pratchett is softening his humor into a more Gaimanesque voice.

If I didn't have to work, I think I would have finished this in a day, because it was very hard to put down. I loved the writing style; I already knew I liked Gaiman, but I've only read a few things by Pratchett so far. I guess I need to find something else by him now.
