About this ebook

GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 COMING 28TH JULY ON AMAZON PRIME.

The book behind the Amazon Prime / BBC Series starring David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Benedict Cumberbatch.

'Ridiculously inventive and gloriously funny' Guardian

What if, for once, the predictions are right, and the Apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea?

It's a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, now find themselves in. They've been living amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse.

And then there's the small matter that someone appears to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

I enjoyed the story, bit there were a lot of characters to keep track of (generally fine, and the list at the beginning helped, but some seemed to be more minor parts than they were made out to be). I also didn't like the amount of purposely misspelled words. Overall I'd recommend it though.

This is Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett before they were Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The light-hearted banter with the approaching birth of Anti-Christ is a downright delight to read. The interaction between Aziraphale and Crowley are probably the most unexpectedly fun and the portion you will look forward to the most in the book. Inevitably, you will end up smiling as you pick this book up to read.

I could just say "A classic . . . Fullstop"! But, I'll add . . . As good as you would expect from two masters of the genre, at the top of their game(s), teaming up a la Spiderman and Ironman, to punch out an amazing novel. Not only funny, with interesting characters, but keeps you enthralled. The aligned environmental topics seem even more relevant when you realise the book was published nearly 30 years ago. Just buy it and read it. You'll be doing yourself a favour.

About the author

Neil Gaiman (Author)
Neil Gaiman is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novel series SANDMAN and of such novels for children as Coraline and for adults as American Gods and Stardust. His comics and novels have sold in their tens of millions. Like Terry, his works have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and also like Terry, he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. Unlike Terry, he has never been awarded a knighthood for services to literature, although his mother thinks that sooner or later the Queen will read one of his books and immediately knight him if she likes it, and that to be on the safe side he should leave out the rude words.He does have the Newbery Medal, though.

Terry Pratchett (Author)
Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. Raising Steam is his fortieth Discworld novel. His books have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. After falling out with his keyboard he now talks to his computer. Occasionally, these days, it answers back.
