Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don't let you go around again until you get it right.
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future, written in 1655, before she exploded - the world will end on a Saturday.
Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...
People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it's only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day.
This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons - well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel - would quite like the Rapture not to happen.
Oh, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...

I was a little surprised by this one. Maybe I’m not the right target audience but I found it all just a tiny bit too whimsical for me. I still thoroughly enjoyed it though, just not 5 stars enjoyed it

A partir de cosas que he ido viendo de la serie me había dado cuenta de que tenía cosas que me iban a gustar. Mucho. Así que aproveché que tenía la opción para comprármelo, empecé a leer con curiosidad... Y descubrí que, efectivamente, es el tipo de obra que me gusta, que me encanta. El humor, las referencias, el tipo de narrador, lo creíble que resulta el universo, mezclar temas divinos con cosas como una máquina de Trivial... Y debo decir también que la traducción en la edición española es excelente, incluso en los textos que simulan castellano antiguo.
Se ha convertido rápidamente en un favorito.

It begins why heavy British humor, and that's not a bad thing. The issue (not an issue) is that the premise it's not the book. I mean, it is great, but it's really not what you think.
It's funny, brilliant, but furthermore, it's so wholesome it can be painful.
I did not expect to love the book as much as i did, and in these cynical dubious times, a read like this is necessary.
It is, really, a wonderful book.
