Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
World Book Night takes place on the 23rd of April this year, and on that date 1,000,000 copies of 25 books will be given away for FREE!! This is one of the 25 listed books.

I first read this book in my early teens and instantly fell in love with it. This was my first introduction to the twisted, genius and beautiful minds of Messer’s Pratchett and Gaiman.
The plot of the book concerns a young boy called Adam (who just so happens to be the Antichrist), an unconventional angel and an even more unconventional demon. There are Witches and Witch Finders and a small group of "ordinary" people who are trying to thwart The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in their attempts to fulfill their destiny by bringing about Armageddon!
This is the Omen with a satirical twist which will have you laughing the whole way through.
