A book in which every other sentence is brilliantly witty. The plot jumps from character to character and between storylines effortlessly. Love the modern imagining of the Four Horsemen (although Pestilence definitely made a comeback in 2020...) and every moment we spend with Azriaphael and Crowley is fantastic. 

Unfortunately some parts haven't aged well - there was a surprising amount of racism, homophobia and just general mean-spiritedness.
