I will admit, regretfully, that "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" seemed to have lost something when I started reading it again as an adult. But the majority of this book's fans are not children. It makes me more than a little concerned about the state of (British?) humour. Possibly it is the p...

Full of that quirky, funny British humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and laughed several times, but I am rather partial to British humor. This probably isn't for everyone. This audiobook was excellently narrated by Martin Jarvis, and the great story, coupled with his reading, made me look for...

4.5 Stars. Synopsis: That's great, it starts with an earthquake, raining fish and frogs, a UFO. The Tibetan monk is not afraid. It’s the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fine. (My official apologies to R.E.M. for slaughtering their song.)Good v. evil with angels, witches, demons, wit...

When I tried to speak about this book, I failed miserably.I just couldn't summarise the whole plot in a few sentences, because there's too much awesome stuff going to decide what to begin with.Then, about a year ago, I decided to settle on this:Good Omens is a book about an angel and a demon who hav...

It was funny enough for a novel about 11 year old antichrists and barroom jokes about a devil and an angel. On the other hand, I must be a bit severe and say that I loved practically everything else by both of these authors a lot more than this single novel with them together. The characters weren't...

This is probably my favorite book. That's a difficult decision for me to make - I'm plagued by commitment issues. But "Good Omens" proves itself, time and time again, to be excessively fantastic.I first read this book in junior high school, and it was my first exposure to either author. I immediatel...

Armageddon is coming. It's a shame someone has misplaced the antichrist.This book, in a lot of ways surpassed my expectations. It truly is a rather unique and engaging book. There were a few problems I had with it, however, which prevent me from giving it the full five stars.My first problem was the...

The Day of Judgement is upon planet Earth. Everything foretold in the Bible, from frogs falling from the sky to the ride of the Four Horsemen, is going according to plan. At ten years old, the Antichrist, affectionately named Warlock, has spent his short time on Earth being pushed and pulled by the ...

First of all I am a fan of British humor. I also blame myself more then the book, during the periods when I could keep alert I did enjoy some of the funny moments of the story, but I didn't find them fall off the bed and on to the floor funny. Footnote: No more laying down while listening to audio ...
