This was a delightful and entertaining read. It might be the funniest book about the end of the world out there. I loved that Crowley, the demon, and Aziraphale, the angel, were friends. It's a light and fun book, I would read it again.

This has been my favourite book for ages now. I have read and re-read it so many times that I could probably recite the first few chapters from memory.
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are two very talented authors whose writing styles compliment each other brilliantly. Pratchett is renowned for being incredibly funny and creative. This meshes perfectly with the darker ideas which Gaiman brings to the book.
This is a great read which I would recommend to anyone who is old enough to know what an ansaphone is (even if you can't remember owning one).
Seriously, read it, even if it's just to find out why I said that :)

pending video essay on how good omens and the barbie movie offer a buddhist radical acceptance of human nature in contrast to the christian dualism of good and bad
