ghghfhghfhgf it was pretty good! Definitely recommended, though the writing style is a bit unique at times. Also, maybe one or two slurs are used in the book. Thought that might be helpful to know. Otherwise, very good, maybe a bit hard to…

What a clever book. It starts with the beginning of the world and a friendship that develops between a somewhat bumbling angel and a demon (fallen angel). After a brief background with the Antichrist being born you jump to present time and…

Multiple Recs! "This book makes you laugh out loud and brims with absurd humor and loads of charm." - Raven P. "Aziraphale is an angel and his partner in crime, Crowley, is... not. Well, a fallen angel anyway. The two must work together…

Sweet, funny, and a very quick read. Exercise caution if you don’t enjoy British comedy or unserious writing. I found the style took some getting used to, but it made me laugh once I’d adjusted. I read this after watching the show, and…

Funniest "end of the world" book

I read up to page 75 and only found one part amusing. Based upon all the other reviews I expected more. I decided this book is not for me.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was fun and silly, with great references.

One of the funniest books I have read in a while. The writing styles of Pratchett and Gaiman merge perfectly in this novel, with interesting characters, a fun plot, and lots and lots of humor.

This is an every year (attempted) reread for me! I'm sure you can see the merits from one of the other 80-something reviews on here -- as a book, this truly has many. If you watched the show first, don't expect the same thing, but if you…

An excellent and fun read! The size was daunting at first but it's simple enough that a read it in a week. I had put off the book for long, and now I'm ashamed of myself for it. Good Omens is quickpaced and very dialogue driven. The…

Fun book about the end of the world. A really fun book and story. Well written. Fast read even though almost 500 pages. Highly recommend

This book is set in a fictional town of Britain called Tadfield. The story weaves together a series of events into a satirical but seriously plot-heavy novel that can easily pull you in. I found myself reading "Good Omens" at a rapid pace.…

With the new series set to premier this month, I had to read Good Omens. I’d avoided it for all these years because, honestly, I’m not a huge fan of Terry Pratchett’s. (Yes, go ahead and pelt me with raw carrots or something.) I just…

idk about everyone else but this slogged on and on and was humorous sometimes, but for the most part obnoxious to the point where i regret reading it at all

This is a fun read! I enjoy Neil Gaiman's work, and this book had all of his dark humor and quirkiness. The relationship between angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, and their discussions on good and evil and the 'ineffable' master plan,…

Good Omens takes place in an alternate version of the real world, incorporating elements of the Christian mythos into its worldbuilding. The main characters, Aziraphale, an angel, and Crowley, a demon, have been living on Earth since it…

I love this book. I read it a long time ago, and listened to the "radio show" style audiobook that was available for it. I recommend it for most other readers, and especially for people that have not yet had the pleasure of reading…

As recorded in “The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch”, the world is ending next Saturday. Following the story of a demon and an angel as they team together to prevent the apocalypse. Good Omens by Neil Gaimon and Terry…

I've been watching the series this week and absolutely love it! So onward to the book!

A rollicking fantasy with a wry sense of humour. If you enjoy unique stories with numerous omniscient asides, no-sacred-cows social & humanity commentary, and out-of-left-field events that still tie together in a cohesive and wildly…

Terrific book with the most unconventional characters in (or out0 of this world. A demon and an angel have been friends and sort of colleagues for thousands of years, but something brand new has happened and they have to deal with it. Also…

Saw the TV series before reading the book and the TV series based on the book was entertaining and hilarious. The book is an entertaining read and I burst out laughing more than once while reading. Read the book, watch the TV series,…

A funny and memorable tour with an unlikely set of quirky characters. Pratchett and Gaiman's collaboration is every bit the joy ride you'd predict from the minds of these authors.

According to Agnes Nutter, the only reliable guide to the future, the world will be ending next Saturday, just after tea. This doesn’t sit well with a certain demon and fussy angel, who both quite like living on earth. It also just so…
