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

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

Oh, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

Put New York Times bestselling authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman together . . . and all Hell breaks loose. In a very good way.

I felt, like many others, bored by the parts about the literal antichrist and his friends and very enthralled by the horsemen, Crowley and Aziraphale. By the second half of the book, I just felt like I was ready for it to be over with, which felt really unfortunate.

This was a witty and lively read, and I loved the characterisation of the demons. For me, the only downfall was the ending, as it didn't seem in keeping with the rest of the novel. However, that aside, a wholly enjoyable book.

i guess i see why people like it, it was pretty funny at times. like that the authors acknowledged when a joke would go over an international reader’s head.

i vaguely wanted to read this before i watched the show, and it was a lucky day book so i said sure why not? but if you really want to read this book i think you’ll like it a lot. i was also in a mentally stressful time when i read this + i read it over a fairly long time, which may have affected my enjoyment of it.

(or maybe i just don’t love funny books? i didn’t love hitchhikers guide either, but i chalked that up to age at reading.)

Decent read. Interesting premise and plot. Feels like there could be a second. Closer to the present day.
