The battered paperback copy of Good Omens that I read has a blurb on the cover that says, "The Apocalypse has never been funnier." Agreed. 
 This story of the Antichrist, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, angels and demons, and Heaven and Hell is clever and laugh-inducing and altogether a very humorous look at the end of times. War, Famine, Pollution, and Death are abroad in the land. Aliens land. Atlantis rises. Fish and sharks rain from the sky. And a group of four 11-year-olds on bikes (granted, one of them is the aforementioned Antichrist) have the best shot at keeping the world intact, at least for now. 
 The writing is sparkling and witty, balancing utter absurdity with an astute look at the modern world and all of its contradictions and conveniences. 
 I loved Good Omens, and I'm just upset with myself for taking so long to finally get around to reading it. 
 Amazing book. Read it now.
