8 / 10

I've read this book the second time now and it was as indescribably hilarious as the first time.
One could say that Pratchett and Gaimann tried to accommodate too much characters in that tale: prophets, angels and demons, fortune teller and witch-finder, Bikers of the Apocalypse, a gang of kids. As each thread of the tale has its own small and great events it never gets boring.
Beside the Them I like the Bikers most - just to think of their new means of transport and how one of them has taken over the job from another makes me laugh.

8 / 10

I wasn't sure what to expect from this novel. I like both Pratchett and Gaiman very much, but their styles are so different that I was tiny bit biased despite of all praising reviews.. But the mix turned out to be extremely funny and piercingly clever, making a joke of heaven and hell (and pretty much everything in between.)

It sounds more like Pratchett but I can see how Gaiman added some depth and darkness into this blend. I wouldn't recommend this for religious fanatics or (too) serious Neil fans.

Ineffably good! ;)
