In England the Antichrist is about to be born. Unfortunately, thanks to a couple of bumbling Satanic Midwives, the Antichrist has a new name. Adam knows nothing of the evil thing he is to become. As Heaven and Hell prepare for Armageddon, their two demonic and angelic representatives on Earth decide they are quite keen on the world as it is. Of course, they are in favour of Armageddon, "in general terms" but then where would they have lunch?

|comment= Yup, it's a cast-iron classic and the Pratchett/Gaiman fusion works surprisingly well. I keep hearing rumours about Terry Gilliam directing an adaptation of it, which I would dearly love to be true.

|comment= With each reading, I get a little more out of this book - especially the Omen references (some more subtle than others).
