Good Omens

Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed One of the most enjoyable reads. Ever! on
Helpful Score: 2


Well that is if you're a Gaiman fan, a Pratchett fan, or both. You could also be a fan of Douglas Adams, or Monty Python. But then it really isn't necessary to be a fan of any of them at all.
In brief: Seemingly Normal British kid is actually the AntiChrist. Screwed up demon and even more screwed up angel set off on a quest to find him. Along with the Witchfinder general, his bumbling assistant and- like the kid needed more worries- the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Hilarity (with a side of possible nuclear destruction) ensues.
I've read it time and time again, and I refuse to swap this one. Get your own.

Go on, get your own.
