I wanted to watch the series, but decided to read the original material first. Maybe that's where I went wrong: I started this book with some expectations.

For example, the chemistry between Crowley and Aziraphale. It is there, but not as prevalent as I had hoped for. Overall, I hoped for much more appearences than they both had. The other characters weren't per se uninteresting or boring, but compared to a demon and an angel they almost always lose out.

The writing style itself is fine, there are some really funny moments, the end revelation is somewhat sweetly philosophical, but I can't help to find it rather underwhelming for the fantastic basic idea of the book.

Recently listened to the full production audiobook after reading the print version years ago.

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.

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! ^^
