Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Now an Original Series on Prime Video. New Season available July 28th.

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!

"Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It's a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick."--Washington Post

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

In my defense, I’ve read the book and watched the series so I’m biased but i love this book with my whole heart. I can remember the name of the characters because they matter, i can relate to them because of how relatable and likable they are, even their bad traits can be seen as charming and add to the humor of their characters most times. Anyways, love the plot, came for the main two characters, got a fruity Armageddon, did not leave disappointed, it think its a good quick read and an even better longer one if you like annotating your physicals. 10/10. Would 100% read the book a 5th time.

I'm a sucker Biblical story mash-ups, because while I have serious concerns about anyone with a literal interpretation of religious texts, it's really fun to reinvent the characters, motives, and philosophical principles on which these well-known parables stand. I much prefer when religious narratives conclude with a big old question mark, rather than an emphatic exclamation point, and this book does just that.

Between Pratchett and Gaiman, I wonder which one was the angel and which was the demon? I have my guesses.

Good fun. So many lol moments. The middle third gets a little sluggish, but the last bit picks up nicely!!

One of a kind.

It is hard to give high enough praise to how Gaiman and Prachett combine their writing styles into a funny and original voice. A story about the apocalypse that actually makes you question your own life perspective in an unexpected way, while making light of the ridiculous side of human nature and modern society.
