It's my favorite book. I picked up a copy at the first and only BEA I ever attended. I didn't know either of the author's names. Because it's my favorite novel, I made it a point to read it aloud to both of the Offspring during their first weeks of life. They've always liked me reading to them.**...
A little hard to keep up with all the characters at times, and was a bit disjointed but I loved the story! The characters were hilarious, my favorite was Crowley and the Them. Gaiman is a genius I know, and after reading this book I'm going to pick up the Discworld series by Pratchett! I love books...
“God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say, circuitous ways. God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitc...
It's been said before--and by writers far more talented and infinitely better known than I--but, after reading Good Omens (yes, for the first time, how is it possible?) I have to repeat it: the apocalypse has never been--and I'll hazard a guess never will be again--more fun. From the Omen-esque ope...
If British humor, especially British apocalyptic humor, is not something you enjoy, then look elsewhere.I like the concept, I like the writing, and I like the story overall; however there were certain time periods that dragged on for a couple chapters too long and a few subplots stayed past their we...
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I rarely find a book that can move me to tears. You know what's even rarer than that? One that can make me laugh out loud. The first laugh-out-loud moment came at page 35 of my mass paperback edition and most certainly was not my last while reading t...
Flawless. That is, unless you're deeply and humorlessly religious, in which case you'll want an emergency bucket of holy water nearby to douse this book in after -- or possibly while -- you read it. Do Protestants do holy water, btw? I always thought that was a Catholic thing. Then again, I thought ...
While I liked this story, I was also irritated by it. A lot. And I've come to hate the word "ineffable" which is just silly, yet true.In a way, I'm not surprised that this book gave me a mindache. Pratchett and Gaiman? It was 50/50 that it would be a work of immense genius or a work of over-the-top ...
