Regardless if you do or don't enjoy Neil Gaiman's, or Terry Pratchett's works, and regardless if you have ever seen or heard about the 1970's cult classic film The Omen,if you fancy reading a book that will keep you highly amused, even to the point of laughing with a mouthful of tea occasionly, then this is the book for you.

The book is based on the the son of Satan coming to Earth, yes the Anti-Christ, but only he doesn't realize who he is, or the powers that he posseses, and to top it all off he gets mixed up at birth, and sent to a very loving, caring family, which tends to complicate his father's plans for world domination.

Two of the main characters in the book, Crowley and Aziraphale are angels from the dark and light sides respectively, and spend most of their time trying to find the Anti-Christ, and to prevent Armageddon from happening. Even though they both represent two rather opposing Deities, they get on very well, and have been the best of friends for a few lifetimes.

Other parts of amusement in the book, are little things like the fact that if you leave a music tape in your car long enough, it will eventually turn into a Queen tape, and invarably you will end up listening to things like Bohemian Rhapsody whenever you change the tape.

This book potrays the dawn of Armegeddon in a very amusing light, and makes you wonder, what if.....? And spend the next 5 or so minutes with a big grin on your face, because of your previous thought. This is a must read, and it's not hard to understand why this book is being classed as a classic
