I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook with the full cast, it felt like an immersive story that I was part of, watching the days counting down towards Armageddon like a proverbial fly on a wall. 

The world building of the human realm is so fascinating, and the character development between the main cast is palpable and satisfying.

I made the mistake of watching the show before reading the book, and it turns out the tv show is a very faithful retelling of the book...which made the book boring. It's written incredibly well, and the writing style is very funny. I appreciated the occasional witty footnote. Ultimately, though, I didn't love this book for the same reason I prefer season 2 of the show: I pretty much only care about Aziraphale and Crowley, and so much time was dedicated to other characters that I felt like I was left wanting a lot more.

Reading after watching the series (great adaptation), this was a great book. Still loved the characters, and I liked how the book explored more of the pieces of the story and you can see it all kind of fall together.

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.
