Story
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Story
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

At six years old, Terry was told by his headteacher that he would never amount to anything. He spent the rest of his life proving that teacher wrong. At 66, Terry had lived a life full of achievements: becoming one of the UK's best-selling writers, winning the Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. Following his untimely death from Alzheimer's disease, the mantle of completing Terry's memoir was passed to Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the author's literary estate.

When the Doctor and Donna visit London's Technology Museum for a glimpse into the future, things don't go to plan. The most brilliant IT brain in the country can't use her computer. More worrying, the exhibits are attacking the visitors, while outside, people seem to be losing control of the technology that runs their lives. Is it all down to simple human stupidity, or is something more sinister going on?

Just like an episode of the television show

Publisher's Summary
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.
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.

Fantastic performance of a fantastic fantasy novel
The book itself itself is wonderful, although it is an acquired taste. At first I wasn’t all that thrilled with the narrator, but he soon grew on me, and I now think he was the perfect narrator.
In fact I relistened to the first chapter and I now think he was amazing.
Ultimately I would absolutely recommend this book. It’s amazing!

Highly recommended
Ok, so never read anything by these authors before (shocking, I know right). I watched the show and thought might be ok, might be worth a try. OMG, so loved this. I am a big Douglas Adams fan and this reminded me so much of him. The narrator does a great job of bringing this to life. Clever and funny, definitely going to go back for a relisten.

Really Funny
This book was really, really funny. It was a combination of absurdist humour and dry wit which I typically enjoy and it had me snorting when I was listening to it in the car.
Crowley and Azirapheal were my favourite characters (of course), I just wish we actually got to spend more time with them through the entire book.
The beginning and end were great, but I was starting to get a little bored through the middle section. I was interested in Adam and Anathema, I just don’t think their storylines were interesting enough to fill out the amount of page time they got. I also had a bit of a difference between expectations and reality that took me a while to adjust to.
Other than this, I really enjoyed this book. The plot was funny and interesting and the ending really picked up the pace, although I do understand why some people think it’s anticlimactic.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will continue my mission to read all of Gaiman’s works (I might even have to add Pratchett to the list).

Ineffably Hilarious and Devilishly clever!
A laugh out loud commentary on society that you instantly want to share with your friends. A perfect mix of fiction and intelligent apocalyptic banter that delivered everything I had hoped for in a Pratchett/Gaiman love child. My only disappointment is not discovering it earlier!
