Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch Mass Market Paperback – 28 November 2006

I do not believe that there is anything that I can say about this book that would express how amazing it is, but I shall try nonetheless. The story follows an angel, a demon, and their plan (and I use that term loosely) to foul the coming apocalypse. The Antichrist has been born but even that did not go the way Heaven or Hell wanted it to. Aziraphale (the angel) and Crowley (the demon) have a kind of familiarity that borders on friendship, although none of them wants to admit to that. But what else is to be expected when you have spent centuries, since the dawn of the human race, living lives that intertwine. They may be divine (one of them formerly), but they are creatures nonetheless.Written by two authors, Good Omens is a ride that you do not want to hop off of. It is the satire of the ages, a bud that blooms into a beautiful flower. Although it separately follows many different characters, you are not once bored or just reading to get to your favourite. The story weaves between all of these characters' journeys and you cannot wait to see where this journey will end; even though you have a pretty good idea of it. It is the Apocalypse, after all.Humorous and sublime, and at time hilarious beyond measure, Good Omens is a good read for anyone and everyone. The writing never lets you down as the tension and excitement build as we loom closer and closer to the Apocalypse. The story is unpredictable and a whirlwind ride. Nothing ever goes according to Crowley and Aziraphale's design. While the forces of Heaven and Hell wait to for fulfilment of the inevitable divine plan, the two wonder whether that plan is the plan after all.If this book seems like something you would enjoy, check out Good Omens TV series on Prime Video, which does the books justice and is breathtakingly good.

Paper&Print quality is good. I have read the first 50 pages and it is a very interesting book. I'm sure many readers will like it.

Best described as Neil Gaiman themes presented in Terry Pratchett's world, this often hilarious novel about armageddon gone horribly wrong is a treat for Pratchett and Gaiman fans. However, if truth be told, it is really Pratchett's trademark humour, narrative and characterisation that dominate the novel and therefore it will definitely appeal to his fans.Despite its virtues it does have sluggish phases which could have been left out. It is really about the two central characters (a demon and an angel who have become reluctant friends over the millennia) and the novel is at its best when it concentrates on them, which is thankfully most of the time.Ideal as a quick, enjoyable weekend read!

Got it some time back so it has worn down a little in photo but but it arrived it was in good condition. Pages are decent. I am happy with the book. 😊

Super

It was meant to be too good.It was. For about 7/8th of its some 400-pages, it was. Then it wasn't.It starts off great. Too funny. Wicked funny. Un-put-down-able. I knew it was 400 pages, that too with small font, but I wasn't worried. It was a fast read. Too interesting. A real page-turner, in the most honest sense of the phrase. Crowley was a darling (he remained so till the end - his end or the book's, you ask?). Aziraphale too. And Shadwell. The others helped.But the end neared and the book wasn't funny anymore. The story got busy in tying up all the threads it had bared, and became slow, sombre and mundane.Halfway through the book I pondered over the possible ending. "How could this fun story of the not-funny business of Apocalypse end?", I asked myself*. The conflict was inherent and evident, between the funny and the non-funny. I couldn't figure it out. I didn't care. It didn't matter. I was too excited. I read on. Happily.And then the End arrived. And disappointed. It became preachy-ish. The preachy-ness could be seen in the book early-on too, small sprinkles here and there. It was small, and assimilated well, and felt good with the flow. Then a big spoonful of it was thrown in and it felt as if two different books were written and then bound together one after the other. It didn't feel like the same book anymore.I wish I could have enjoyed it more, like most people around here. But the ending just couldn't do justice to the whole concept.*I believe there couldn't have been a nice ending to this. It was all too good to be true to end.Recommended watch: DogmaBought for ₹288 from Amazing Buy. No complaints regarding the piece received or its delivery.The book has a white cover with a black Crowley on it. The font is small.
