Good Omens

Author: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

I found myself utterly enchanted by “Good Omens,” a delightful collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. This wickedly funny tale of an impending apocalypse had me chuckling from start to finish. The unlikely friendship between an angel and a demon, set against the backdrop of a looming Armageddon, is both heartwarming and hilarious. With its clever wordplay and satirical take on religion, prophecy, and human nature, this book is a true gem that I couldn’t put down.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules and who smiles all the time.
