Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

This is an amazing book. Very telling of the way people can spiral out of control the simplest explained events into something so complex it takes on earth shattering proportions. It is mind bending-ly funny and very blasphemous [probably why I found it amusing]. And serves to further the agenda that despite the best laid plans of men and minions, free will can and will triumph in the hearts of children.

Perhaps my favorite book of all time. Funny in a laugh-out-loud kinda way, witty, and characters that are impossible not to fall in love with.

Almost but not exactly "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Apocalypse," "Good Omens" manages to be it's own beast in spite of feeling very much like a well executed homage to Douglas Adams. Fortunately, Gaiman and Pratchett are not interested in cloning Adams so much as tapping into a similar vibe. The results are unique, genuine, and genuinely funny.

Do not read in public. May cause snorts, guffaws, and coffee to exit through nose. (Really hysterically funny)

I got the book as a present 13 years ago and did not read it for over a year. But after the first read I reread it numerous times because the story is so hillarious.
After almost six thousand years of waiting the devil decides to bring his spawn to earth, to unleash the antichrist. By his eleventh birthday he will be given the hellhound as his companion and guardian. The emissaries of hell and heaven on earth have long ago formed a bound of friendship and a kind of admiration for humans. Thus in a concerted effort they try to teach the supposed antichrist in such a way that he will not do as he was supposed to. But at the 11th birthday they realized that they were teaching the wrong child due to a mixup at the hospital where the child was born. Instead, Adam the antichrist lived in a small english village with his friends and had a truly human life which was a better education than the emissaries could have ever provided... My most beloved episode is when a group of Hell's Angels meets the Riders of the Apocalypse who fittingly rode as bikers. This passage of about three pages could go as a short story that will split your sides while you try to stop laughing...

One of the funniest and smartest books I've ever read. Anyone who likes Douglas Adams should love this. Actually, anyone who claims to have a sense of humour should love this book about the Antichrist, angels and Crowley (the angel who did not so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards).

Great book :) I always like books with a message! This book is entertaining, funny, and a little educational... not much though. Its mostly just fun, but I really liked the end... and the book climaxes for about 200 pages, which is crazy and keeps the pages turning. I really liked the characters, but there are a lot of them, so I will admit it got a little confusing from time to time. I have already lent this book out and I have more people who want to read it, I suggest you pick up a copy too! Really makes me want to read more Gaiman and Prachett

BEST BOOK EVER. Crowley and Aziraphale are the funniest entities you will ever meet... and they are British. Unfortunatly, they know the Apocolypse is coming. On a Saturday. Right after tea.

Funny. Neil Gaiman's eye for grounding fantasy in the modern day and Terry Pratchett's eye for farce.

I won't lie, I didn't finish reading this book, I lost the damned thing!! It was an okay read though...dark humor and all...I would like to get back around to this one!
