This was a wonderfully irreverent and humorous take on the end of the world, ala the Book of Revelation, and how it can be oh-so-utterly confounded when the Antichrist is switched at birth with the wrong child and none of Satan's Horde figured it out.

The book is all about a set of about six characters, some human, some not, and how they fumble about and learn that being human is a far grander thing than anything else. The interplay of these characters is the book's strong point, and the authors have done a great job here.

Gaiman and Pratchett have written a fun tale. This was highly enjoyed.

5 of 5 stars.
