My expectation was that one of the two authors on the front was superfluous, one had the idea and the other wrote it. Learning that, in fact, the process of writing Good Omens was a chaotic back-and-forth of Pratchett and Gaiman literally co-writing the same book blew my mind in the best way.
It all flows seamlessly, without forsaking either author’s writing style. It’s hilarious and deeply foreboding when it wants to be, at times simultaneously. And on top of it all, there’s some theological questions thrown in there for good flavor.
