Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (Cover may vary)

By Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. "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 Note: This book is available in different packaging, however content is the same. 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 . . .

It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't great. I think that their separate books are much better. This book just kind of happened, it wasn't particularly funny.

An old favorite I love to come back to when I need a bit of cheering up.

I first read this book a number of years ago and it was amazing.
Last summer I watched the Amazon Prime mini-series twice and said that I needed to read the book yet.

Now 9 months later I reread the book. Most of the movie was still in my head so of course all I could see was David Tennant and Michael Sheen.

I really like how Neil Gaiman's TV series did not take away from the book but added to it with the odd additional scenes but the book is still amazing.

Hlariously witty and absurd, I adore it. One of my favorite books! The only reason why I rate it an 8 is because if shifts between POVs and some of the perspectives were less interesting lol. I just wanted to read about Azi, Crowly, and the kids. Everytime it went to Newton or Agatha (although crucial to the story), I was just looking forward to the next scene lol. Highly recommend if you want a goofy, supernatural, "apocalypse" story set in the 80s/90s. (Of course) I think the book is better than the show.

Skemmtileg bók og fyndin en soldið mikið af efni og nöfnum og þ.a.l. stundum erfitt að skilja
