Summary: Also an excellent reference material!
Review: Not only is Good Omens some of the best comic writing I have ever read, it also makes an excellent reference book. While reading the story of the Apocalypse you can learn about the British monetary system and the creation of Milton Keynes. Now that is what I call quality reading! Also I would like to say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this into a movie!

Summary: Hilarious, witty and complex
Review: My favorite book...one of the funniest books I've ever read. Being a huge fan of both cheesy 1970's occult films and the apocalypse, I laughed out loud nearly the whole way through this book. It's filled with more in-jokes and jabs at literal biblical interpretation than you can shake a stick at. This book has it all! I think the negative reviews are coming from people that don't understand the references to "The Omen" or don't know much about the bible.

Summary: Not worth the time or money.
Review: Despite an attempt to emulate the Douglas Adams style of humor, this book is just not funny. It drags, it lags and it becomes more of a chore than anything else. I love Gaiman and Pratchett's writing when they're solo. Here it simply doesn't work. I reviewed the book when it came under consideration for a film and I think it would be as unfunny on screen as it is in print.

Summary: A timely comedy for the New Ages...
Review: I read this book last spring and I intend to re-read before New Year's. Never before have I embarassingly laughed out loud at the pointed observations of life at the end of the 20th century. This book is not just for sci-fi, comic book, or fantasy fans. It's for all who need a good satire to mock the absurdities of our times and culture.

Summary: Incredibly clever with wonderful "bad" characters
Review: GOOD OMENS is one of the funniest books I've ever read - it made me LOL, something which is rare for me. I read this book, along with NEVERWHERE, in preparation for an interview I did with Mr. Gaiman, which is now online at All About Romance at http://www.likesbooks.comNeil Gaiman is an immensely talented author with a sensibility all his own. I wish I could have spent far longer w/him than the half an hour we had by phone. If you are looking for a smart book that will make you laugh to the bottom of your belly, try GOOD OMENS.

Summary: Angels, Demons, Death, and Witches--What More Can You Want?
Review: "Good Omens" is one of the funniest books I have ever had the good fortune to find on a library search engine, and that's something considering that I've read nearly all of Mr. Pratchett's wonderful Discworld novels. I especially enjoyed how, in usual PTerry style, the story had several plots going at once that are constantly interrupted by each other but that somehow all come together in the end. Crowley and Aziraphale are just about the coolest demon/angel team I've ever heard of, the Them were fabulous "kid" characters, and of course our four horsemen (excuse me--horsePEOPLE) made their few cameo appearances quite hilarious. (I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to this area--DEATH has always been my favorite Pratchett character and I was absolutely thrilled when I read the "Cast List" and found Him on it) Anyone who loves to laugh at human nature and of course at the Book of Revelations will find "Good Omens" to be a great read. Terry and Neil, you should get together more often! ^_^

Summary: A witty and gripping book!
Review: Good Omens was a fabulous book. Charachters such as Crowley and Aziraphale are easy to identify with, and the text is peppered with funny and occasionally irrelivant footnotes. It makes me feel proud to be a human.

Summary: Nothing left but dust and fundamentalists.....
Review: This book captures the essence of comedy. It takes a very serious situation and makes it hilarious. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are brilliant!

Summary: Share it with an uptight religious friend!
Review: "Offer people a new creed and costume and their hearts and minds will follow." Indeed! This explains the behavior of some of the more "dedicated" Nike employees I run across out here. Just when I thought the Douglas Adams/Monty Python/Pratchett style of absurd Brit humor was getting a bit stale, this book freshens it up nicely.
Rating:
Summary: Fabulous is too mild a term.
Review: I am a rabid Pratchett fan, and I was not disappointed in this offering. This book is in the stash of books that I re-read when I want something good but I am not in the mood for something new. It just gets better with subsequent visits. Done correctly, this would make a wonderful movie.
