One subplot features a mixup at the small country hospital on the day of birth and the growth of the Antichrist, Adam, who grows up with the wrong family, in the wrong country village. Another subplot concerns the summoning of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, each a big personality in their own right. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 68 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think there's flaws in its plot, but for something not too serious, there's a lot of references to modern culture (or at least at the time, modern).
I did come into this with a bit of knowledge on the plot as I had watched the Prime TV show first, but still enjoyed this neverthe less
Already miss the book. It made me smile - a lot.
Read for the umpteenth time. Still as good as ever.
