I think it is my favorite that I've read so far. It's one of those rare apocalypse stories that doesn't take things too seriously and doesn't drown itself in peril. Plus, it's so fucking funny and witty without being totally ridiculous.

Who woulda thought that Beelzebub would have a speech impediment? Haha.

I can relate on the dry weather. I'm from California and I absolutely couldn't stand the dry weather in Nevada either. I was there for only a week and each time I woke up in the morning, I had the most chapped lips and driest skin ever. I continuously drenched myself in moisturizing lotion and applied chap stick to my lips several times a day but that didn't help. I had it the worse in my family so everybody around me just figured I was allergic to dry weather or something, lol.

What's worse was that I caught a cold while I was there so I had a pretty bad sore throat. The dry weather only made it worse. After each morning, my sore throat gradually became strep throat until I finally lost my voice one morning. I desperately drank a bottle of water just to get it back. That did help a little, lol.

What's that book about? Maybe I can check it out at my school's library if you really recommend it.

It bothers my nose the most. I was expecting nosebleeds the entire time, since the skin inside my nose is so thin.

Oh the book is fantastic and you should definately get it. It's a parody on the apocalypse. It centers on this angel and demon who have become allies over the centuries. They are both sent to help swap a baby with the antichrist, but something goes wrong, so they don't know which family the antichrist is going home with. Hilarity ensues as they try to locate him. Meanwhile all these wierd things are happening in the world, like raining fish and the "four horsemen" gathering. The angel and the demon aren't very happy about the world ending. It's all told with a dry kind of humor that actually had me giggling out loud for most of the book. There are a ton of very likeable characters in it too, which is refreshing.

That sucks, I hate having nosebleeds.

Sounds like a cool book! I'll definitely check it out in my school's library then.
