About This Book
The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an
unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced
novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with
Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored
and reread again and again. You see, there was a bit of a mixup when the
Antichrist was born, due in part to the machinations of Crowley, who did
not so much fall as saunter downwards, and in part to the mysterious
ways as manifested in the form of a part-time rare book dealer, an angel
named Aziraphale. Like top agents everywhere, they've long had more in
common with each other than the sides they represent, or the conflict
they are nominally engaged in. The only person who knows how it will all
end is Agnes Nutter, a witch whose prophecies all come true, if one can
only manage to decipher them. The minor characters along the way (Famine
makes an appearance as diet crazes, no-calorie food and anorexia
epidemics) are as much fun as the story as a whole, which adds up to one
of those rare books which is enormous fun to read the first time, and
the second time, and the third time...
