I guess I never really thought about the ending before. The point always seemed to me to be that Adam was Man incarnate. The apocalypse was for him, but he didn't want it, so his friends, his horsemen, were powerful enough to vanquish the traditional anthropomorphic personifications that had expected to serve him. Even his Dog was wrong. Nobody wanted to fight, Aziraphale and Crowley didn't get into too much trouble, Adam was allowed to carry on as a human for the time being, Anathema managed to come to terms with being a person in her own right but in the end got what she wanted- the sequel- and Tadford was still protected. That seems about right to me, though I haven't read it since a couple of months before Haloween... What was the confusingness?
Incidentaly, the page about the diplomat's son was added at the request of the American publishers. F-A-M-I-N-E doesn't have seven letters. And there was going to be a sequel, "668: Neighbour of the Beast".
And I want photos of your Crowley-guy.
This guy sort of reminds me of Aziraphale- not as I pictured him, but as soon as I saw him I thought he could be him.
BTW, I just realised the actor is kind of famous, I think.
