Reviews with content warning for War - Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

What I liked: the humor, the characters, the narration. I also liked the sub additions in the footnotes
What I disliked: written out accents bother me, and some side characters that seemed unnecessary (the extra bikers, even if they were funny)
Overall thoughts: Funny as hell, really creative story line and a lot of fun. I love tipping the theme of good v evil and emphasizing the fact that it's a human made concept

So I woke up from a dead sleep with a Good Omens thought.

Agnes had one book of prophecies that ended with the end of the world. But then sends a second one to Anathema, labeled to Mr. and Mrs. Pulsifer.

It implies that the great plan for the world was more like an outline with room made for human free will. The first fork was that the world ends... or it doesn't. Obviously in this case it didn't. So Agnes' second volume gets mailed out. The next fork is Mr. and Mrs. Pulsifer. Either they got married or they didn't before the book showed up. They didn't. The next is the burning of the next volume. Why would she take the time to write out that full volume of prophecies and mail it if she knew it would be burned? Because she didn't. The book either would be burned, or it wouldn't. Both were likely options so she wrote and sent it just in case. Of course they chose to burn it, and her winking in the chimney smoke was because she knew it was an option the whole time.

Idk I like the theme of free will in the book, especially with Aziraphale and Crowley insisting they have none, but they actually had it the entire time.

Probably a super obvious thing to post but a fun early morning thought nonetheless.

The humor wasn't for me. I'm sure someone else will enjoy it, but I didn't really care for it. I desperately wanted to like it, but I think it was over-hyped for me.
