“This took me awhile to read due to the style. It's full of very British humor, which is both slap-stick, and intelligent. The novel is about Armageddon and the Anti-Christ, an 11 year-old boy named Adam Young. It explores human nature, and the concepts of good and evil. It also pokes fun at Christianity and Christian ideology. Parts of this had me on the floor laughing, while a big grin was plastered on my face through most of it due to the tongue-in-cheek humor. The cast of characters...”

“Could not get into this one - I loved the Sandman comics, so I wanted to love his other books, but just couldn't get past page 50.”

“when my uncle passed this book onto me, i didn't think i'd like even half of what i do. then i started to read it...and i coudn't put it down...and then i started to giggle...and then soda came out of my nose. i'm told it was quite funny to watch. i wouldn't know as i was trying not to die. anyway, i'm getting off topic. the point is this book is halarious.”

“This is one of my all-time favorites as well!! I reread it every few years or so and also embarrass myself by laughing out loud in public. But then everyone wants to know what I'm reading, ha ha!!”

“Actually, they talked about how it started out being written in distinct sections, but their work soon melded together and they edited the other's work, so it truly is a collaborative work.”

“Well according to Neil, him and Terry would see what made each other laugh. Though I believe(but not entirely sure) it was plotted by both and written out by Terry. If you go to neilgaiman.com there is a section where you can ask question. I am sure when he has time he will answer it(but I suggest you check out the FAQ section first since it may be answered already). He is pretty good about replying.”

“I'm curious if anyone knows exactly how it worked between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. To me, the only parts that seemed more Neil Gaiman than Terry Pratchett were some of the (in my opinion) unnecessary language and occassional over-the-top violence. Much of the rest of it could've very easily been lifted straight out of a Discworld novel involving the apocolypse. This isn't to say I didn't like it, I love Pratchett, the writing style just seemed a bit one-sided to me and I wanted to know if anyone else noticed that.”
