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 . . .

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 youâll 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 donât love funny books? i didnât love hitchhikers guide either, but i chalked that up to age at reading.)
