[Allegra]

I read it a few years ago and loved it. It's one of the books I'd like to re read. I lent it to quite a few friends wishing them to share my joy unfortunately as it always happens it got lost in the end. Must get a new copy.

Is it overated? I don't know, never heard anyone call it a 'masterpiece'. But it's a good book. It is, well, darker and wackier than Pratchett; lighter and funnier than Gaiman. Indeed it's amazing how the two co write, something like you write one chapter and I do the next? It must be a fun thing to do. I thought I recognized the different signatures in some passages. The mix of two types of wit and humor (though they are not too far apart) produced something quite entertaining.

There were even rumors about the film and Johny Depp as Crowley and Robin Williams Aziraphale (the best cast in my opinion). But the rumor died down and nothing happened.
