I expected this to be a silly, fun read, and that's exactly what I got, nothing more, nothing less. The premise is that Armageddon has arrived, but one angel and one demon really don't want the end of the world because they quite enjoy the world. Their attempts to subvert the apocalypse mostly do not go as planned, most notably with misplacing the antichrist. 
 It is terribly blasphemous in such a light-hearted, hilarious way as to be completely inoffensive. I found myself continuing to giggle over certain bits hours afterward. The only major drawback I had with this book is that it never really drew me in and fully held my interest. I ended up doing something that I HATE doing and avoid at all costs, and that was to start a new book while still reading this one. I spent most of my day today forcing myself to finish it because the other book I started is very good, and I hate going back and forth. 
 That's not to say I didn't enjoy the story. I did find myself more invested in the story about 60-70% through the book, and I think if it were about half the length, it would be perfect (it is 424 pages...quite long for a book that's nearly pure humor). The footnotes included through the book were some of my favorite parts, and it does call you to think, at least a little bit, about the nature of things, mostly the grayness of them. I loved that all the cassettes in Crowley's car eventually turned into Queen albums, and that the hellhound turned out vastly less hellish than expected. It did grate on me a bit that Adam and his friends acted and spoke more like 6 year olds rather than 11 year olds, but even so, some of their conversations were spot-on for capturing the way children can often see the truth of things that adults can't comprehend because we just make it all too complicated. The scenes with the kids were definitely the slowest and most taxing to get through in my opinion, but I can recognize their importance. I LOVED the interactions and the sort-of-friendship between the demon and the angel, and I wish there had been more of them. 
 Overall, I would definitely recommend this book with the caveat to not set your expectations too high. If you're looking for an exciting, character-driven novel, look elsewhere. All of the characters here are flat and undergo very few changes as they are mostly caricatures anyway. But, if you're simply looking for something to make you laugh, with some thought-provoking topics that you can choose to engage or ignore as you wish, then you've found your next read.
