8-4-09 Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett – Fiction

3 – This book was recommended to me by another Christopher Moore fan.  It does have some of the snarky absurdity of Moore’s books (how do you lose the Antichrist?) but was a little more dry and drawn out than I would like.  The Antichrist was switched at birth with the wrong baby and the dark angel responsible for his protection is in a world of shit for losing him.  He joins forces with an angel of light, who is a rabid bibliophile, and they enlist the assistance of a witch hunter to stop the Apocalypse because neither of them really want to start over as they do love their luxuries.  Definitely absurd and pretty humorous as well.
