Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett Book Summary

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, soon to be an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

?Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!

“Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.” —Washington Post

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

Yes!. It made my day when i found out my two favorite authors came together to make one awesome book:)

Just a great book. Please read this book

The girl with a louding voice. I thoroughly enjoyed reading a novel that was written in a grammatically incorrect manner. The author's use of incorrect grammar created a deep connection with the protagonist and made the writing very emphatic.

Great. Endearingly funny

Good Omens. Good premise. Ironic and funny. Ending is a bit disappointing.

Interesting but enjoyable. I liked the small jokes and references to the New Testament (revelations chapter 6 verses 2-8 specifically) and you kept with the idea of “angels are good and demons are bad” until Aziraphel made Crowley try to stop the antichrist from being pure good or bad (so just human) until they realize they have gotten the wrong kid. And I like the little explanations here and there that kind of help clear up some questions anyone might have. And I like the show! So good job!

Amazing!!. This book is, if I were to sum it up in a word (which, frankly, doesn't quite do it justice) is absolutely hilarious (oh my, that was two words). Pratchett and Gaiman are literary GENIUSES (capitalized for extreme emphasis), and to anyone having thoughts about purchasing this book, I suggest you do so! Also read it if you happen to like Queen (the band, of course).

Amazing. I have read this book so many times and it only gets better!

Beautifully Funny. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: two great tastes that taste great together. If you have read and enjoyed writings from either of these authors, then there is no question that you will find this book equally entertaining (if not more so). If you've never read a Gaiman or Pratchett book before, well, this is a great place to start. I could go on and on, but I really don't have the skill to do this book justice. Besides, it speaks for itself. So go ahead, read it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Aaaaaah. Best book I’ve ever read, left me wanting more each time I read it. Really quite spectacular.

Great book !!!!!!!. Awesome book. Loved every bit of it. I thought that it was as good as the tv show. If you haven’t read it, you need to read it.

Amazing. Just completely amazing!

Awesome!. Best book in the world! Good Omens is a great book with lots of humor and adventure. Definitely worth the money from whatever store you get it from. Buy this book!

Had to purchase on my iPad... What they say jokingly in the intro is true: I've had multiple copies of this book over the years, somehow they always get loaned out and not returned...and since this is one of my favorite books of all time, getting it electronically so I can reread it whenever I want is a beautiful thing. Yes, I still replace my physical copy of the book - it's just too good to not share :)

A Wacky Collaberation. Pretty well anything goes in this frenetic fantasy gone berserk. Open your mind for this one and enjoy.

Caution!! may cause addiction. i think about this silly lil gay demon and angel far to often to be considered normal. thank you neil and terry for writing this masterpiece, and thank you david tennant and michael sheen for feed my delusions

Incredible. One of the best books I've ever read, hilarious, entertaining and even thought-provoking.

Doesn't come with the helpful notes!?. You get the asterisks, but none of the helpful notes. What is up with that?

Ugh. So tedious.. This is taking FOREVER for me to get through. If the too-many scenes with the kids' inane convos were cut away it'd be a pretty good book. Loved FATED by SG Browne, and this book is kind of like it ... but not nearly as enjoyable. Disappointed since Gaiman wrote Graveyard so well. Oh, well.

Amazing!. This is an AMAZING, HILARIOUS book. The story and plot twists are unexpected and very fun to follow. The authors do a wonderful job of mixing everybody's plotlines. If you haven't read this you MUST!!!

Good Omens. As a teenager I really enjoy books like this, it had a great premise and good comedy.

Yes.. A book 20 years old needs no review, for every review has already been given, every angle of analysis exhausted, every compliment catalogued, and every one of millions of copies used, abused, and ultimately loved. So instead refer to the title for my complete review, a monosyllabic affirmation of my immediate and unreserved affection for this book.

Fantastic. This book is just fantastic, and started my love of Gaiman.

Yes. I bought the book at Barnes and noble and I’m reviewing it here. It is hilarious. I watched the series before I read the book, but just thinking about Michael sheen every time aziraphale pops up is fantastic <3 also the good omens fandom is HUGE and there are a buttload of fanfics out there, but I digress. Gabriel is an arse. Read this book.

New outlook on life. Thank you for a great story with insight to an infinite being culture. Looking forward to watching the show, I have heard great reviews.

Please just read it. This might be the third or forth time I've read this book; it's certainly not the last. I love Terry Pratchett. I love Neil Gaiman. I think the whole world should.

The Ha-pocolypse. This book shows its age, now. It is still extremely clever and humorous. I gave it a 4 star review because it is a little culturally specific for the English, but I, as an American, still found it thoroughly enjoyable.

Good Omens. This fun comedic fantasy is very progressive for originally being published in 1990, featuring a nonbinary ace couple in the main cast. It explores the idea that as society and technology change, what good and evil look like change with it, and that these qualities aren’t inherent in people, they’re learned. People are more than their roots, and readers are reminded that the future isn’t set in stone, for decisions made today can change tomorrow, which holds endless possibility.

On Soulmates. Echoing across space and time, thoughts of authors written before I was even born, pour into my mind fresh, as if just now thought of. The span of a few decades are completely dissolved as I write this review. The voices of these two authors have blended together so cohesively to tell what can only be considered a triumph of story, comedy and friendship. To craft something this amazing, in such a wonderfully collaborative way is a testament to friendship and two truly great minds. Sometimes things are just meant to happen. I’m so glad that Mr. Pratchett and Mr. Gaiman met. Thank you for the story. I’m off to buy a physical copy for the explicit purpose of dropping it in the bath. - Brooke

Totally awesome!. This is one of the funniest books I've ever read and at the same time its a great commentary on modern culture. Written in a style similar to Douglas Adams with that dry British wit this book will have you busting a gut from start to finish
