I very much wanted to fall in love with this book. I enjoyed the humor that it offered but I really wished that Crowley and Aziraphale were present throughout the entire book. It felt disjointed and
everything was leading up to the Apocalypse and then just nothing happened. Life went onto Sunday. So maybe that’s the point, no matter what life goes on.
I am eager to watch the TV series and see how it holds up to the book. Maybe I can gain a different perspective from the show that the book didn’t quite hit me with. I think a piece of why I didn’t enjoy it as much was because there aren’t traditional chapters. So it made it hard to find a helpful place to stop reading. I understand why this book is structured the why it is, it just stressed me out.
