I picked this up when I was in Canada a few years ago. I was probably in 10th or 11th grade when I read it. It's a great book, by two great authors.

This book is being made into a book ray. That means that a bunch of people have signed up saying that they want to read it, and I've listed their names below. I'm going to mail it to the first person on the list, that person is going to mail it to the next person, and so on until it reaches the end of the list. In this particular book ray, the end of the list represents a bookshelf in a classroom in Maine, so even after the ray ends the book will still keep being read by people in the class.

Here's that list of people who want to read the book:

Cyberkedi - Georgia
sleone - California
Caligula03 - California
Aramena - Oklahoma
Zephiera - Maryland
amymaew - Pennsylvania
CheriePie - Massachusetts
chomper (on behalf of MVHS) - Maine

Mailed to Cyberkedi in Georgia today.

Received on a Bookray.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book is a delight! It pokes fun at revelations, prophecies, the movie The Omen, and other stories relating to The End of The World. Written in the subtle but highly amusing British fashion, it tells the story of an angel and a demon who decide to team up in order to prevent Armageddon. Problem is, the Devil's child is on Earth - but thanks to a mix-up at his birth he ends up with the wrong family. Then the fun really begins--

The focus of the story is the collection of prophecies by Agnes Nutter, a with who could see into the future but whose visions are almost unknown because there are hardly any copies of her book. However, they are extremely accurate - and foretell precisely when the world will end: on Saturday, just after tea.

This is one of the funniest books I have ever read.

Received today, I will read this next.

RELEASE NOTES:

Loved it! Two of my favorite authors work well together.
Sending on to Aramena.

Book arrived today! I'm in the middle of a book ring book and have another one after that, so it may be a few days at least before I start this one!

It took me longer than I had anticipated to get to this book. It was amusing but I didn't just love it. I'd read a couple of Terry Pratchett books before, because he was highly recommended here, and had trouble staying interested in them. I'd never read Neil Gaiman though, and this book was listed on the BookCrossing Top 100 books, which is why I wanted to read it. So, an okay read but nothing particularly memorable.

Sending on to Zephiera today, and thanks for starting the book ray PJW and giving me the opportunity to read it.

A fun little book whether you're a fan of Pratchett, Gaiman, both or neither as it stands out from both of their usual styles. As with any Pratchett, read with tongue firmly in cheek and a large dose of salt for best results!

Slight holiday snag, but sending off today to CheriePie!

Arrived today. Why is it that I can go months without any rings or rays and then in a single week 3 arrive at once? LOL In any case, I've got 2 ring books ahead of it, but it'll be put in queue and I should be able to start on it within the next couple weeks. Thanks!

A very interesting book. I definitely detected the writing style solely as Pratchett's though, and wonder where Gaiman's influence came in. Perhaps in the design of some of the main characters... I suppose I can see a little of Gaiman's style there.

The ending left me wanting for a sequel. I wonder if there will be one....

WARNING SPOILER ALERT (highlight below text to view):
After all, Adam (the Antichrist) did divert Armageddon, but at the end, you find the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley talking about a bigger effable Plan, and then the Further Nife and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter: Concerning the Worlde that Is To Com shows up on Anathema's doorstep, so you're left wondering what the future holds for these guys, especially since Agnes Nutter found it interesting enough to write about again.

I've messaged chomper for his/her address and will update this entry when I put the book in the mail.
