Holy Cow! This was a long time coming. I've been busy in the "thick of thin things" and sure enjoyed getting back to more reading.
Gaiman and Pratchett were amazing in this collaboration! A story of the end of the world featuring an angel and a devil who rather botch things, or do they. You might say the Apocalypse comes off with a hitch. Or was it a glitch, or several. We humans have a tendency to mess things up, but occasionally, we do things right as well. Blame it on Heaven or blame it on Hell eventually, the buck stops with us.
Good Omens is a glorious romp through the meadow of human nature. We are so funny and these guys have made it their millennial mission to point that out. I laughed out loud on page after page. Mostly at myself. There is a bit of me in every character in the book; all fodder for funny. I learned to take myself and life a little less seriously and realized that humanity and the human experience is a joyous blessing to be celebrated!

I'm so glad you liked this book. My exboyfriend introduced me to it years and years ago and I've loved reading and rereading it. I, too, laugh out loud when I read it - even after multiple readings. It's brilliantly funny!
Definitely a funny book. I love the way the English look at things just a quarter turn different from the rest of us. It's really spot on!
