Good Omens is a fantastic and loveable book which I enjoyed every minute of reading. I found it interesting to watch as different characters and stories all prepared for what could be the end of the world but came together in the end. I found the ending to be a fulfilling conclusion to the story that gives info to the lives of all of the characters after the events throughout the book.

Hilarious, I even laughed out loud. Almost every footnote was a good punchline.
Even though I didn't love the plot, I still thoroughly enjoyed the novel. Aside from the humor, the depictions of the four horsemen was great. The idea that someone made inane and specific prophecies that her descendants dedicated their lives to...A++.
idk, I guess over all, this novel introduced a world I'd love to dive deeper into. The escapades of angels and demons, the Devices, Satanists that have nuns...
The only thing I didn't really like was Adam's plotline. Like, yeah, I know, central to the plot. But I do not care even a little bit about what the children were doing at any given time.

A while after watching the short TV series, I finally read Good Omens, which everyone has been telling me to read for years. It was funny, though a lot of things happened at once. The first half of the book really felt as though I was missing part of the series, like when you accidentally pick up book two in a series, and while it does stand on its own, you miss some important details about the characters.

Starting this I didn’t think it’d be my cup of tea but I enjoyed it more than I expected. It’s fun and weird (in a good way). I’d recommend reading it or at least watching it on Prime (if you’re not a big reader). I loved all the different characters and how they slowly all got involved in each other’s storylines. My favorites have to be Aziraphale and Crowley cause their relationship is wonderful and their personalities are top notch. If you have the chance you should definitely read it.

"Isten nem kockázik az univerzummal; saját felfoghatatlan és kifürkészhetetlen játékát játssza, amit ő talált ki. Ez a többi játékos szemszögéből leginkább valamiféle érthetetlen és bonyolult pókerjátszmához hasonlít, amelyet koromsötét szobában játszanak üres kártyalapokkal, végtelen tétekkel és egy olyan osztóval, aki nem mondja el a szabályokat, és végig mosolyog."
Az Elveszett próféciák jellemzése röviden: a Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak humora találkozik a világvégével és egy rakat szórakoztató karakterrel, akik igyekeznek megakadályozni azt. Az egész könyv egy kaotikus vonatút, ami egy kárörvendő, nem teljesen épelméjűnek tartott boszorkány próféciái alapján alakul és folyamatosan a kisiklás felé tart, miközben egy kétségbeesett angyal és egy démon rohangálnak a szerelvényen, egy 11 éves kisfiú (az Antikrisztus) pedig bandájával a többi utast bosszantja. Néhol zavaros történet, rengeteg szeretnivaló, emlékezetes szereplő, és egy felejthetetlen élmény.
