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! ^^

At least one of the things at it's core is just being human. That's what the book is about. They're all human. Even Crowley and Aziraphale. I adore the notion that if you spend enough time amongst human beings you become a bit human yourself. And that it's not necessarily a bad thing. Worth preserving the world over, even.

“You don't have to test everything to destruction just to see if you made it right.” 

after finishing s2 of the show I had to read the masterpiece that inspired it all and I was not disappointed, I believe this is one of my favorites of the year.

if I don't get s3 like rn I will probably die and crowley has to be my fav character, cannot believe I went from being afraid of David to having him as one of my favorite characters ever but c'est la vie

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.
