Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, 412 pages

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett team up to write a very funny and very British book about the end of the world.  When the devil decides that it's time to send the Antichrist to earth in order to get started on the apocalypse, an angel and demon accustomed to the ways of London scheme to prevent the world's demise.  This book was very funny, full of typical Pratchett footnotes, names, and turns of phrase.  There are actually several interlocking storylines, including a young witch who has a book detailing the end of the world, a gang of kids who don't know that one of them is the son of the devil, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse, who actually ride motorcycles.
