ReviewsA slapstick Apocalypse, a grinning grimoire, a comic Necronomicon, a hitchhiker's guide to the netherworld., Something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated., What's so funny about Armageddon? More than you'd think . . . GOOD OMENS has arrived just in time., [L]ittle asides, quirky observations, simple puns and parody eventually add up to snorts, chortles and outright laughs., "The Apocalypse has never been funnier." -- Clive Barker "Hilariously naughty." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wacky and irreverent." -- Booklist "Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Fiendishly funny." -- New Orleans Times-Picayune "From beginning to end, GOOD OMENS is side-splittingly funny . . . a ripping good time." -- Rave Reviews "If you've never read [GOOD OMENS], don't miss it now. Grade: A." -- Rocky Mountain News "It could be called The Hitchhiker's Guide to Armargeddon." -- Palm Beach Post "[L]ittle asides, quirky observations, simple puns and parody eventually add up to snorts, chortles and outright laughs." -- San Diego Union-Tribune "What's so funny about Armageddon? More than you'd think . . . GOOD OMENS has arrived just in time." -- Detroit Free Press "Full-bore contemporary lunacy. A steamroller of silliness that made me giggle out loud." -- San Diego Union-Tribune "A direct descendant of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- New York Times "An utter delight--fresh, exciting, uproariously funny." -- Poul Anderson "Outrageous . . . read it for a riotous good laugh!" -- Orlando Sentinel "I whooped . . .

SynopsisThe classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. " 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 . . ., The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now 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.

One of the best books ever! Superlatively Better than TV Version
I have read this book many times and each time it is just as funny and entertaining as the first time I read it. God and the Devil Decide this is it! Send down instructions to their chief demon and chief angel on earth who decide, "No way can we allow this happen". Their pursuits in preventing Armageddon are akin to the "gang who couldn't shoot straight"". Hysterical and funny. Amazon did a tv series on it and turned into a buddy brofest movie - which distorted the book. Read the book first and then ignore the tv program!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Used but in Fantastic shape!
This is an incredible book and was in great shape, for a used book! I'd already read it before buying it, but I didn't have my own copy. The copy I got did not disappoint. Highly recommend!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome book!
One of my favorite Neil Gaiman books. After reading it I bought it for two other people who also loved it. It's comical, and it's a very quick read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Small but great
Even though the corners were bent, they were just like how they would be in a bookstore. Not damaged at all. The book was smaller than I thought, but I prefer it anyways. So happy with this purchase!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Funny book, can't beat the price of "Used"
This is a comedy about the end of the world - or rather, the odd couple of an angel and a demon risking everything because they've gotten attached to a silly little blue planet. It's a great read if you enjoy the humor.

Love the rebellious angel and demon

Funny and Cleaver
Among the best of British satire, with the only possible drawback being the film it is most directly satirizing has passed into obscurity.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
