Good Omens

The other day I was on Goodreads.com and looked at my recommended books.  Needless to say, this book grabbed my attention.  I laughed out loud for a good five minutes after reading the synopsis and decided I ought to give it a read.

Not to mention it had a VERY high rating (4.5 stars out of 5) with thousands of reviews.  This book, is none other than the masterpiece entitled...

"Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett (1990).

Here is the synopsis straight from the back of the book:

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday.  Next Saturday, in fact.  Just before dinner.  So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing.  Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring.  Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.  Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. 

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...

It has been quite some time since I have read out of my genre (YA paranormal/fantasy) so I figure it might be time for a change of pace.  And what better book to make the transition than this one involving the end of the world, angels, demons, and comedy?  It has been around for a long time and the story sounds phenomenal! (Hence the reason it is still around!)  I can't wait to read it this weekend!
