"According to The Nice And Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies) 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, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon - both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle - are not actually looking forward to the coming war.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist..."

Is this the one that describes the M25 as a plan of Satan? One of my favorites.

I read this last year. It was fairly enjoyable. It was like a much better version of Dogma. I found myself really enjoying some parts and being annoyed by others. I suspected that Pratchett had the heavier hand in the sections I really enjoyed and that Gaiman had the heavier hand in the sections that annoyed, but I waited until after I finished to find out anything about the writing process. It turned out that I was probably pretty on the money when it came to which writer wrote what.
