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 . . .

    I went to Barnes and Noble (the only one being 2 hours away) for this book because apparently my impatient self couldn’t wait for delivery. Absolutely worth it though. As I reached the book store, I made my way to the fantasy section, my heart began to race with excitement. My eyes scanned the shelf, spotting Neil Gaiman’s works instantly. My brain and began to pick up speed, and when the ADHD Fast Brain kicks in, I tend to overlook things. I saw American Gods, Coraline, Sandman, but I became momentarily blind and could not seen the Demon in a Model Pose with a glass of wine. My stomach began to sink with the absolute terror of the possibility they don’t have it. I stopped, then scanned carefully and spotted him instantly. I grabbed the book, feeling the smooth surface, opened in to breathe in that New Book Smell. I began to stim with excitement as I purchased the book with my gift card, then got Chocolate bubble tea to celebrate the absolute W I took that day. Something Truly Magical happened when Neil and Terry came together to write this book, and it’s the kind of thing that can’t be replicated. A bought this book after the absolute devastation of GO2 to cope and wait for 3. I was very satisfied with the lil notes, which are not only funny but also very helpful with some questions in regards to British Humor that I, a ‘Merican, could not quite understand. This book also has lovely little tidbits the show does not go into; these tidbits being good for writing and fan art ideas. Aziraphale and Crowley are amazing and I love them. Michael Sheen and David Tenant have been engraved into my head as the faces of the supernatural entities, which I’m all for, of course. I intend to take deep care of this book (I have the version with Crowley on the cover but it’d like to get the one with Azi as well) I probably won’t get a fancy box for it but I certainly won’t have it be a bunch of loose pages in a Zilpoc bag. My Good Omens Hyperfixation continues to thrive with more content to consume, and Your Graduation by Modern Baseball is very fitting for the events of Season 2 (the Final Fifteen, naturally) Bless/Curse this book and show

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.
