A humorous little book, fun and definitely at its best when revolving around Crowley, Aziraphale and numerous other Gods/Deities (e.g. The Four Horsemen) - much weaker when dealing with the many much more boring human characters. Fairly disjointed as well, with a lot of jumping around between different groups of characters which can make the book rather disorienting, especially during the climax and run-up to the Armageddon - but it does make up with plenty of funny one-liners and vignettes.
