seano312 's review for:
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
I read this chiefly as an Audiobook, supplemented by the ebook.
I like Gaiman and Pratchett both well enough, but I avoided this book for years, because I thought it was firmly in the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" vein. Fun, funny, but not thoughtful or edifying.
I was wrong.
Anyhow, it's pretty much a must-read if you like Gaiman and/or Pratchett or you're a fan of Douglas Adams. Or if you like cheeky British Scifi/Fantasy (and who doesn't?)
There are some weak spots in the book, but the strengths make up for them.
One comment about the audiobook: I felt the reading was VERY good except for one character. The voice of Adam Young should have sounded like Tom Sawyer, not a pompous windbag. Except for this strange misstep, the audiobook was a delight.
Recommended to pretty much anyone.
