Behold

The antichrist is among us! The four horsemen of apocalypse ride together once again. The end is inevitable and nigh!

Wait, let me add some context.

The antichrist is indeed among us! But just like the way we sometimes misplace our keys, the demon Crowley who was supposed to deliver him to his human parents did the same.... Yup, he kind of mis delivered antichrist AKA the living Armageddon to wrong people and no one knows where he is!

By the way, the four horsemen of apocalypse now ride bikes, wear leather jackets and accept couriers.

The end is indeed near and TOO DAMN FUNNY!

One of the most important figures of the story is Agnes Nutter, a badass witch from 17th century who accurately predicts everything that is going to happen from her time till the very end of the world. Her prophecies include, but not limited to birth of antichrist, his location, the climate, discovery of transistors, advice on buying betamax (don't) and the very fact that i am writing this review.

The story is rich with excellent characters and profound philosophy which is sugarcoated with satirical writing.
Highly recommended!

Shrav Wow. Finally someone who has read Good Omens and liked it. Frankly I draw blank stares from "readers" when I mention what a riot this book is .


Sr3yas Lol! This book was even featured in BBC's Big read 2003. How can people miss this!
