Don’t be misled by those who class this as fantasy, humour, or just fiction.
This is actually a profound philosophical and theological treatise, exploring good and evil, nature versus nurture, free will, war, pollution, and organised religion. 😉
But it’s cleverly disguised as a madcap caper featuring angels, demons, the M25 motorway, Manchester, raining fish, dolphins, Atlantis, aliens, the Apocalypse, the young Antichrist, Americans, footnotes for Americans, tunnelling Tibetans, witches, witch-f ...more

Reread in anticipation of upcoming adaption, concurrently with a friend who was doing the audiobook. As fantastic as I remembered--with like a blend of Pratchett and Gaiman so perfect, you couldn't really tell where one began and the other left off entirely. Funny--we theorized which parts were written by which author, and when we got to the note to the readers as the end, hadn't guessed entirely right (but then both authors had such a symbiosis, there were parts they weren't sure who did what).

An absolutely hilarious read!! I adored this book. Couldn't put it down. Two of the greatest literary minds come together and totally rock my socks off.

Just excellent good fun. My experience with Terry Pratchett is that people either love his books or just don't get it, so I can't say who would like this apart from people who are already fans of Pratchett or Gaiman. Fans will lap it up, speed of reading only slowed by time spent wetting themselves with laughter or trying to memorise the best lines. The others will know who they are within about ten pages and may as well give up there. They have my sympathy.

An enjoyable read (though it didn't grab me nearly as much as I'd expected).
