God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

-Good Omens

Annotation: An eleven year old Antichrist with the power to destroy the world? All apart of the ineffable plan!

Summary: Eleven year old Adam Young is the Antichrist. Only nobody knows because there was a mix-up at the hospital and the wrong child was raised up to be the Antichrist. However,with the help of an atypical angel and an unwicked demon, Adam is about to change the world...

Evaluation: This is one of the best recreational reads for any teenagers (for adults as well!). It is insanely funny and cleverly written. For example: the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse appear as Hell's Angels on motorbikes.
