I wanted to read this book as soon as possible as it is the book that inspired my favourite show. I enjoyed it while listening to the audiobook at the same time. The only issue is that some parts were unnecessarily long or didn't need to be included at all. It would have saved a few pages if these parts were cut and wouldn't have affected much of the story. Anyway, I still enjoyed the book! ^^

Incredibly funny book. Moments of harsh reality pointed out in hilarious ways that sort of gives you whiplash.

Eg. "You do know you could find yourself charged with being a dominant species while under the influence of impulse-driven consumerism, don't you?

Very enjoyable read. So very 90s.

A while after watching the short TV series, I finally read Good Omens, which everyone has been telling me to read for years. It was funny, though a lot of things happened at once. The first half of the book really felt as though I was missing part of the series, like when you accidentally pick up book two in a series, and while it does stand on its own, you miss some important details about the characters.

Hmm. I liked this book more by the last third or so, but still, it took me a while to get into it. There were a lot of dark violent things that deeply bothered me, even though they were usually taken back or didn't happen or whatever. I think I might like the show more. I did like the last few bits a lot though. 

Edit/update: I do like the show more, and that's made me want to bump my review of the book up to 4 stars?? But I'm not going to because that seems silly. But I'd maybe recommend watching the show and then reading the book. A fair amount is different, and maybe it'll make the show harder to understand (?), but I think doing things in that order would have made me enjoy the book more. I like the show and am excited for the second season, but I also don't like it enough to want to reread the book haha.
