SYNOPSIS: The Antichrist is coming. The world's about to end. The only problem is the "rank and file" angels and demons (who've begun to enjoy each other's company and understand each other over the eons) aren't so sure they want Armageddon to come. MY TAKE: I'll keep this short. I adore Douglas Adams and the twisted wry humour found in both his "Hitchhiker's Trilogy" and the books of the Dirk Gently series. The blurb said it was similar. I gave it a try. It was. You will especially enjoy this if you have: 1) a DECENT working knowledge of Christianity (to get some of the subtle digs) 2) a knowledge of pop culture depictions of evil (the Exorcist movies and the like) 3) the ability to laugh at your own religious perspectives I consider myself an evangelical and thought this was laugh out loud outrageous. But if you're of the mindset that God can't take a joke, well, you're probably better off with a different book...
