À propos de ce contenu audio

 The internationally beloved novel by dream literary collaborators and internationally bestselling writers, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Soon to be a massive new TV launch on Amazon Prime Video and the BBC, a series written and show-run by Neil himself and starring David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.

'Marvellously benign, ridiculously inventive and gloriously funny' Guardian

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact.

So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.

Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.

The story is sometime hard to follow. The reader makes no pause between chapters and in dialogues. Some voices are too similar to distinguish.

As someone with a Catholic upbringing and agnostic adulthood I found this very entertaining, clever and meaningful.

A cultural classic and a must read.

The performance added depth and comedy to the characters and helped make them unique and recognisable

All it's hyped up to be

The story is all over the place with footnotes that last for too long and stray away from the main story.

You voice actor reads well but does not mark breaks between change of point of view which makes it difficult to follow.

I didn’t finish the audio book.
