The story is simultaneously hilarious and asks very important questions about good vs evil, humanity and politics, and it presents some compelling observations about religion.
Aziraphale and Crowley are easily now among my all-time favourite characters, especially as a duo. They play off each other so well. The nuance in their actions is everything.
Having been published in 1990, there are definitely parts of the book that did not age well, and for that reason my stance is that the TV show is better than the book, since it gives us more Aziraphale and Crowley and none of the jarring language.

I absolutely loved this audiobook with all the cast voices, including the great ensemble.
This will be one of my most treasured books, despite dated language used which is why I knocked off 0.25.

Some parts felt dated, like the humor, use of slurs, and how non-Western characters and places are viewed or portrayed (Japanese people or Africa, for example).nindie's review against another edition
