But one has been discorporated and the other is trapped in a flaming motorway. Will they get there in time?

Can Adam, Crowley and Aziraphale work together to fight the powers of Heaven and Hell and prevent the apocalypse?

Don't we all? But do and can? Not in its wickedness or goodness or anything like that. Just humanity, in all the multifaceted nature of it, in its righteousness and wretchedness, love and cruelty, strengths and weaknesses, stupidity and wisdom.

Often the same individual was involved. It was this free-will thing, of course. It was a bugger. Because what makes life interesting, as a particular angel and demon would loudly attest to, is precisely the combination of good and evil, nice and nasty, mean and kind that we all possess, in the precarious and miraculous balance that is the true treasure of humanity.

It's a pleasure to read, and a pleasure to seriously reflect upon after having a good laugh. And for all of that it gets the ineffable five stars.

I love it more and more with each time I do. I have to advise - if you plan to listen to this one, please get the British version with Stephen Briggs as the narrator Isis Publishing - it is lightyears better than Harper Audio.

Didn't smile. Didn't even blow air through my nose. Not once. I eventually continued it as an audiobook otherwise I wouldn't have finished it.

For me this book read much more like a Terry Pratchett story, than a Neil Gaiman tale. I was impressed that the writing style seemed to be consistent throughout.

As to the story, this book has many great characters, a complex, winding plot, and plenty of charm and surprises. I enjoyed the humor more than the story, but it never was boring.

Once again, I feel compelled to explain why I am just now reading this novel, first published in Something had to give. So I fully admit I missed an entire decade of literature, news, and music.

I really got into Pearl Jam in about If you are easily offended by religious satire, you should probably skip this.

But if you enjoy clever writing, adept observations on society and life, and masterful humor, you need to read this book.

Surely, I have gone crackers! Now where's that failsafe button when I needed it the most? With an endearing cast of characters, wit-laden dialogues, and brilliant British humour, phenomenal writers Pratchett and Gaiman concocts a story about the end of the world in cataclysmic hilarious proportions.

Everything seems set and the cosmic game of chess is about to happen With that comes multiple unexplainable phenomenons occurring all around the globe — the happening with the nuclear plants, surfacing of the Lost Continent of Atlantis, Tibetan monks coming out of a random hole, and then some visiting and peculiar aliens whose Earthly commentary seemed spot-on such jolly nice fellows to point it out for us : "'CO2 level up 0.

Madam Tracey: Eh, gentlemen, please, you must concentrate … Um, hey, wait a minute; I really am feeling a presence! Freddy Mercury: [singing] Can anybody find me, somebody to love?

Neville: What?? Where did that voice come from, is that Freddy Mercury? Terry Pratchett: Hello! What have we here?

I see, we mentioned your book Good Omens and we are here with Madam Tracey, and … Neil: And here we are, lovely to join you, also nice to see Lower Tadfield still standing after all this time, and that you remember us.

Yes, Good Omens was a first-rate occult book, full of catchy prophecies and witty Pratchett sayings. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.

Madam Tracey: Um, er, ah … Ron: What was so special about Good Omens that could create a spiritual gateway to open up and visit us here?

Terry: Good Omens was about the end of the world, about a spiritual conflict, but mainly about being human, and how even angels and demons, yes even the Anti-Christ can find happiness here on earth and so we should too, or some such balderdash, I recall it selling rather well.

So I wondered if maybe I shouldn't go back and check this one out. You know, see if it was really as good as I remembered?

It was actually better. The 5 star rating stands! Good Omens is going to go down as one of my favorites. I wouldn't say that I laughed out loud, but I snorted once or twice and smiled the whole way through.

Who would have thought the apocalypse could I read American Gods not too long ago, and while I liked it, it didn't turn out to be as amazing as I had hoped.

Who would have thought the apocalypse could be so funny?! Evidently Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Personally, I thought it was a great coming of age story about a boy named Adam Young.

This is not the book for you. Just put it down and grab something by C. The story centers around an angel and a demon who have spent thousands of years on earth together and have quite a good working relationship.

Everything is running along smoothly until Crowley said demon is charged with delivering the Antichrist to his new family.

In other words, handing over the Spawn of Hell to a bunch of satanic nuns who will switch him out with a human baby who has just been born. Once the deed is done, Crowley decides to enlist Aziraphale said angel to help him stop the coming apocalypse.

Because the food and music on Earth is really good. They have eleven years before the boy reaches his full potential , but unfortunately, due to a mix up with the Satanic switcheroo, the wrong kid gets pegged as the Antichrist and the real Antichrist gets a normal life.

There's a lot more to it than that , but you get the gist. Excellent story. Go give it whirl! Jun 17, Maggie Stiefvater rated it it was amazing Shelves: recommended.

From the four bikers of the apocalypse to adorable hell hounds, it's my absolute favorite offering from Terry Pratchett -- his humor mixed with Neil Gaiman's is absolute win in my opinion.

Unfortunately, I'm just not one of them. I usually like Pratchett's work, and there are a few comic touches that I liked here, but overall the unbelievably slow pace of the latter half of this story nearly drove me bonkers.

The dialogue of the children was tiresome, and the only character remotely 3-dimensional was the demon Crowley. I began skimming pages before giving up altogether on it a few chapters from the end.

I would say it's not my style of book, but that's not true: again, I like Pratchett's other works, and I'm a Douglas Adams fan as well.

This one just didn't hit my funny bone, I guess. Jan 31, Choko rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy , demons , humor.

A book about free choice and nature vs nurture, some good old pondering over what is good and what is evil, commentary on our values and all together sorry state of our perceptions, all bundled up in the beautifully hilarious and stingingly clever prose of the authors, who only cement there places as some of the best of our contemporaries.

Even though I adore almost every word he puts to paper, I am still aware of the fact that he is not everyone's cup of tea. More often it is the over-saturation of his cheek that becomes too much and people loose the underlined analysis of human behavior in which lays his greatest strength.

I would be the first one to recommend his work, but I will also be the one to warn you to space his works good time apart in order to truly savor his wisdom and turn of phrase.

After finishing any of his books I am always tempted to immediately jump into the next, but that would do me and the book a disservice.

So now I treat them as precious gems - the rarer, the more time and adoration I can lavish on each!!!

And electricity, of course. Even better if this is not your usual cup of tea: I recommend it to all!!! Potentially good, too, I suppose.

This has got to be one of the funniest satires I've ever read. I suppose the closest comparison I could make is to describe it as a literary sibling to Dogma, but filtered through a distinctly British lense.

That description doesn't really do the story justice, but that film definitely hits me in the same place as the book.

The whole premise, and I'm not giving much away here, begins with the accidental "mis-placement" of the infant Antichrist during a complex baby-swapping procedure intended to kick off the Apocalypse.

It's all down hill from there. This book is funny, irreverent, and at times surprisingly insightful. While some parts of the book may seem cliched or even kitschy, the book never puts up the pretense of being revolutionary or edgy.

The characters, like any melodrama, are intended to be archetypal, so even the relatively predictable changes that occur seem appropriate in the context of the story.

The surprises are really in the details, and in that regard the execution is brilliant. To give you an example, the devil Crowly drives a car in which the tape-deck will transform any tape placed in it into a copy of "Queen's Greatest Hits" within a very short period of time after one hits the play button.

That's the kind of devilry that works on many levels. View all 4 comments. May 24, J. I read this book before I tried to tackle Pratchett on his own merit, so I may have to retroactively skew this review based upon what I now know.

The book is enjoyable, but may suffer from the fact that it represents its two authors at what seems to be their most basic states.

There is no question as to the recognizability of both Gaiman's and Pratchett's respective styles here, but neither seems to add anything to the other.

One of Gaiman's weaknesses is surely his general lack of humor. Anythin I read this book before I tried to tackle Pratchett on his own merit, so I may have to retroactively skew this review based upon what I now know.

Anything that makes you laugh in his books isn't likely to qualify as a joke. While this could have been remedied by Pratchett's collaboration, his humor tends to be more groan-worthy than profound.

It seemed to me that, by collaborating, both authors felt a need to simplify and de-personalize their respective styles, which for Gaiman meant an unfortunate loss of much of his dark charm, and for Pratchett that he was even more watered down than usual.

I know a lot of people, especially fantasy fans, love this book, and I will admit that it is romp-y, easily digestible, and certainly doesn't betray the inclinations of either author.

Unfortunately, it also doesn't surpass them or create anything new or interesting. The whole is less than the sum of its respective parts.

However, certainly worth a read; if only to get a fix of Gaiman while waiting for him to actually finish his next book. Alternate Versions.

Edit Did You Know? Trivia According to Neil Gaiman , co-author Terry Pratchett 's last request to him before his death in was for Neil to write the screen adaptation.

Previous attempts to bring the book to television failed due to not being able to find a writer able to adapt the book while keeping its spirit and humor.

Feverishly, she cast herself over it. Her English was poor, but, with the aid of a dictionary, she persevered and soon made great progress.

The more she read, the greater her bewilderment became. The book at first reminded her of Candide , which she had surreptitiously read at the convent, but M.

All the personages were well-meaning and agreeable; the witches, the torturers of witches, the prostitutes, even the Demons of Hell; they were filled with kindness and compassion, and their worst faults amounted to an occasional mild irritability.

Where were the indifference and thoughtless cruelty that surrounded her, and which had now become the very air she breathed?

She did not know whether Rodolphe had sent her the book to comfort her or to mock her in her despair, and her futile attempts to resolve this question gradually resulted in an agonising headache.

Her husband prescribed an infusion of valerian, and persuaded her to retire for the night; she lay sleepless in her bed a long time, until the drug finally took effect just as the sky was beginning to lighten.

She dreamed of apocalyptic prophecies, red-headed women wielding swords, endless circles of horseless carriages, young boys with dogs.

In the morning, she remembered that she should purchase some arsenic. By Flow-Bear. She's married to this doctor, and he's dead borin', so she starts hangin' around with these two lovers, and then she maxes out her credit card, so she eats arsernick and poisons herself.

The bit where she's dyin' of the arsernick is dead good. Her tongue's hanging out and she's screamin' -" "Why did she max out her credit card?

Behind the bushes, Aziraphale raised an eyebrow. Crowley looked defensive. I told him that's what actually happened, but he insisted the arsenic worked better View all 53 comments.

May 28, Jeremy rated it really liked it. Remember back when funny books were funny? Back before you went to college and found out that Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen weren't funny after all, but Samuel Beckett and Charles Dickens were hilarious?

Remember when the words on the page didn't just make you smile wryly and shake your head in shame for humanity, but actually made you laugh out loud?

Well, that's the kind of humor that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's release Good Omens brims with, and it is so damn good. The two British aut Remember back when funny books were funny?

The two British authors were both relatively unknown at the time of their partnership, having met when Gaiman working as a journalist at the time interviewed Pratchett on the success of his first major novel, The Colour of Magic.

The two became quick friends and proceeded to write the pages of the now cult classic novel by sending floppy disks through the mail and calling each other on the phone.

Of course, that story is all explained in the appendix, provided you don't pick up an original printing of the book if you do do that, however, you can probably sell it for quite a bit of change, so don't be discouraged by your lack of author interviews.

But the real story at hand is, of course, the narrative of Good Omens itself--the tale of two friends, a demon named Crowley and an angel named Aziraphale who have spent all of human existence on earth and have rather come to like it, so when it comes time for the Apocalypse, they try to do whatever is in their powers to stop it.

The cast of co-stars can only described as "vast," with some characters only popping in long enough for Aziraphale to take over their body or to go on a shooting rampage.

The main other characters though, include: the Antichrist himself, a young boy named Adam, and his gang of friends; a witchfinder named Newton Pulsifer and his love interest, Anathema Device, who just happens to be a witch and one whose ancestor, Agnes Nutter was burned at the stake by Newton's great-great-etc.

Perhaps you're beginning to pick up on that sense of humor I mentioned? That's what makes this book so great. I'm sort of a sucker for religious humor and religious horror movies , and I've read a lot of books about the End Days.

This one has to rank near the top, maybe even as the downright finest. It's humor ranges from simple little comedic bits to social commentary on religion and the human race--but no matter how big or small the joke is, every one of them is attended to equally, and they are all funny because of that.

Though some of the British jokes and references flew by me a problem the authors usually account for in their humorous footnotes , I really did enjoy this book, all the way from the plot down to how it was written.

I actually laughed out loud as I read Good Omens. A few times, to be completely honest. And that's pretty impressive for a cynical, jaded old bastard like me.

Ten years ago, Crowley a demon brought the infant Anti-Christ to a group of Satanic Nuns who swapped the Anti-Christ with a human child.

For ten years, Aziraphale an Angel and Crowley educate the child on the finer points of good and evil. If the holy war was allowed to finish, then everything would be destroyed and divvied up between the two realms - and that divide would be terrible.

Hell may have all the best composers, but heaven has all the best choreographers. So, it's up to them to find the Anti-Christ and stop the apocalypse.

They only have seven to days to do it. It's just going to be one of those weeks. This one was absolutely hilarious!

There were so, so many fun quirks and tangents in this book. Seriously great satire throughout! All the little details just make it pop.

Such as Crowley's plant-tending method: What he did was put the fear of God into them. More precisely, the fear of Crowley. In addition to which, every couple of months Crowley would pick out a plant that was growing too slowly, or succumbing to leaf-wilt or browning, or just didn't look quite as good as the others, and he would carry it around to all the other plants.

The plants were the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful in London. Also the most terrified. Definitely one of those off-the-wall fun reads.

I really want to go through it a second time to see all the things I missed! The varied tone and inflection just made it come alive. View all 61 comments.

Most notably, the year-old Antichrist and his friends seemed really out of place in the book. They felt like they would have been at home in a Norman Rockwell painting or British equivalent —a ragtag bunch of kids with slingshots and backyard adventures.

I think that I was supposed to find them and their inane conversations entertaining, maybe even a little bit cute, but every time they came around, which felt like quite a bit, I thought that the book just screeched to a halt.

Most of the other characters in the book were great fun to read—the demon and the angel and their strange sort of friendship was easily the best part of the book for me.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse were also a lot of fun, at least most of the time. Overall, the premise was brilliant.

The ending seemed contrived and the resolution was just unsatisfying for me. I know that so many people loved this book. I wish that I could have enjoyed it as much as they did.

This is actually a profound philosophical and theological treatise, exploring good and evil, nature versus nurture, free will, war, pollution, and organised religion.

Lots of ineffability, too. The writing is so like Douglas Adams that it could be mistaken for a missing volume of Hitchhiker's, except for the pages of Just William slipped in, Calvino style.

The Antichrist is born, but accidentally goes to a boringly normal, rural couple, rather than the intended satanists.

On that simple trunk, a plethora of sub-plots and an even larger number of larger-than-life characters twist, and climb, and intertwine. After all, the Devil started off as an angel.

The Odd Couple Aziraphale angel and Crowley demon have been on Earth a long time, developed a grudging fondness for it, its inhabitants, and even each other.

Their tetchily co-operative, affectionately teasing relationship is central to the plot, the philosophy, and the humour. If he were totally honest with himself he would have to have admitted that his bookshop was simply somewhere to store them.

He was not unusual in this. In order to maintain his cover as a typical second-hand book seller, he used every means short of actual physical violence to prevent customers from making a purchase.

Unpleasant damp smells, glowering looks, erratic opening hours - he was incredibly good at it. There were no unpleasant smells, but opening hours were limited, as were payment methods.

A Saturday thing. He grew up human! She remembered it. David Tennant as Crowley and Michael Sheen as Aziraphale were brilliant together, and it looked great.

And this just sent me right to sleep. I was glad to stop when I did. This felt like a shadow of what each writer can do; it holds a mere suggestion of the brilliance and creative spark each would wield at his fingertips.

As predicted by the titular 17th century witch Agnes Nutter in her extremely nice accurate book of prophecies, handed down through centuries to her last living "professional descendant" Anathema Device, Armageddon is quickly approaching.

The four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse have set out on their way, and that must mean things are getting serious.

But Agnes Nutter is never wrong, and as her prophesies suggest, shortly after Adam's eleventh birthday on which he DOES get a much wanted Hellhound Dog the events of the end of the world are set in their inevitable, ineffable motion.

But Adam's essential humanity puts a new spin on this old story: " Something was happening inside his head. It was aching.

Thoughts were arriving there without him having to think them. Something was saying, You can do something, Adam Young.

You can make it all better. You can do anything you want. And what was saying this to him was Part of him, deep down. Part of him that had been attached to him all these years and not really noticed, like a shadow.

It was saying: yes, it's a rotten world. It could have been great. But now it's rotten, and it's time to do something about it.

That's what you're here for. To make it all better. He loves this world, and he, coming into his power, wants a very human thing - he wants to make it better.

Don't we all? But do and can? Not in its wickedness or goodness or anything like that. Just humanity, in all the multifaceted nature of it, in its righteousness and wretchedness, love and cruelty, strengths and weaknesses, stupidity and wisdom.

Often the same individual was involved. It was this free-will thing, of course. It was a bugger. Because what makes life interesting, as a particular angel and demon would loudly attest to, is precisely the combination of good and evil, nice and nasty, mean and kind that we all possess, in the precarious and miraculous balance that is the true treasure of humanity.

Because it makes us act like people. Maybe we will figure things out on our own. Crowley grabbed Aziraphale's arm. He's not Evil Incarnate or Good Incarnate, he's just At times it's easy for those familiar with their respective styles to tell which one of them penned which part, at times it's impossible - but it doesn't matter as their writing styles blend together so well, so seamlessly, so seemingly effortlessly.

This is an excellent book - both funny and serious, at times utterly unpredictable, at times baffling, at times logical. It's a pleasure to read, and a pleasure to seriously reflect upon after having a good laugh.

And for all of that it gets the ineffable five stars. I love it more and more with each time I do. I have to advise - if you plan to listen to this one, please get the British version with Stephen Briggs as the narrator Isis Publishing - it is lightyears better than Harper Audio.

Didn't smile. Didn't even blow air through my nose. Not once. I eventually continued it as an audiobook otherwise I wouldn't have finished it. It felt like a kid story.

The history of this project and similar experiences with Gaiman's various other works including The Sandman series have led to his cynical view of the Hollywood process, a view which occasionally surfaces in his weblog [16] and in some of his short fiction.

Pratchett shared a similar opinion, and was quoted as saying, "The difference between me and Neil in our attitude to movie projects is that he doesn't believe they're going to happen until he's sitting in his seat eating popcorn, and I don't believe they're going to happen.

Pratchett had had many of the same issues with Hollywood 'suits', [5] but he, too, would love to have seen the film made. In February , it was reported that a television adaptation may be produced, with Terry Jones and Gavin Scott being "in talks" to write the series.

The adaption is a six-part limited comedy series for Amazon and the BBC , and Gaiman served as showrunner. Distribution was handled by BBC Worldwide.
