Good Omens is a hilarious story about the end of the world. It follows many different characters, angels, witches, witch hunters, the four horseman of the apocalypse, the anti-Christ and his adorable hell-hound, and the boy everyone thinks is the anti-Christ. (Yeah, that is a pretty big mix up...I'd hate to be the Satanic Nunn that messed that up!) Like I already said, this book was hilarious! It has been years since I read a book that I actually laughed out loud at, and there were numerous occasions this happened to me while reading this. Because the story is a comedy however, it does not mean that this book does not bring up some philosophical topics that make you pause and think. Overall I think it is a well-rounded, light-hearted portrayal of the apocalypse that most people would enjoy reading. Of course, if you take religion very seriously, I'm sorry to say, you will not be one of those people.
