Pratchett and Gaiman hold a mirror to life as we know it on earth and we are happy to laugh at what we see in it...their sense of good and evil is infused with a humour so darkly infectious it carries off the sheer outrageousness of the premise...they take the classic horror story of The Omen and dose it with the ridiculousness that permeates the business of day to day living...who cares about apocalypse now when you have to contend with the fact that if you leave a tape in your car for over 2 weeks it will turn into Freddie Mercury and Queen?!! the nature of good and evil are defined by humanity itself...Pratchett and Gaiman look at the ultimate religious conundrum and find that when it comes down to it God is not the hero nor the Devil the villain, Everyman is both...buy a copy, this might just be the funniest book ever written
