Pros: Neil Gaiman + Terry Pratchett = funny stuff.
Cons: Not quite so amusing when it gets heartfelt and theosophical.
The Bottom Line: The thing. What d?you call it in your colorful idiom? The line at the bottom.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Contrary to popular belief, there are lots of things that I like. But just because I like them separately doesn t necessarily mean I ll like them together. Mayonnaise, for example, is very tasty. So is chocolate. You get the idea. So,...

Pros: hilarity without equal; amusing story; fascinating characters
Cons: umm...
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: "Good Omens" is the story of the end of the world, and of the antichrist, named Adam. It's the story of a second-rate demon named Crowley, and a second-rate angel named Aziraphale, who are forced to work together to save humanity from the Ineffable...

Pros: Funny, dark and fundamentally British.
Cons: Humour is intentionally curbed for the sake of the plot.
The Bottom Line: A great collaboration.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: In England the Antichrist is about to be born. Unfortunately, thanks to a couple of bumbling Satanic Midwives, the Antichrist has a new name. "Adam" knows nothing of the evil thing he is to become. As Heaven and Hell prepare for Armageddon,...

Pros: Incredibly funny- made me laugh out loud.
Cons: I wished it was longer
The Bottom Line: Extremely funny. Very well written. Might contain themes that people are uncomfortable laughing at. (maybe not.)
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I'm not exactly sure what it was that made me pick up Good Omens. Not being a big comic fan, the name Neil Gaiman didn't really spark any particular interest, aside from some obscure reference to him in a Tori Amos song (Gaiman writes (wrote?) the...

Pros: Hilarious, well written, outright bizarre.
Cons: none.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: So, I was in the book store a couple months ago trying to spend some of my birthday money. After grabbing arms full of poetry books and the novel I initially went in for, I asked the clerk if he had any Gaiman on hand. I love Gaiman (you might have...

Pros: Great story, quick read once you get going.
Cons: It's starts off kind of confusing until you realize who all the characters are.
The Bottom Line: I think it is a great satire book, especially for those not familiar with the genre. It makes you think and laugh at the same time.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I'd like to start off this review by saying that I've been an avid Christian most of my life, going to church on Sunday and helping out with church activities. But that doesn't mean that I close my mind to anything that makes me think about or...

Pros: More humour than you can shake a stick at.
Cons: It's only 383 pages long ...
The Bottom Line: Comedy at its best. If you've never laughed out loud while reading a book, here's your chance.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Good Omens is a truly superb book. I haven't previously experienced any of Neil Gaiman's work (he is listed as a comic writer) but I have been a long time fan of Terry Pratchett. I am sure that most people will have heard of Pratchett's best-selling...

Pros: Highly enjoyable, extremely amusing
Cons: Can be a little slapsticky at times
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The world's going to end and you're going to laugh. That about sums up Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliantly inventive apocalyptic farce "Good Omens." These two wildly creative British authors (Pratchett is best known for his award-winning...

Pros: Depth, accuracy, humor, and the nagging feeling that something has gone wrong.
Cons: Nope.
The Bottom Line: A book worth having in your collection, a definite must read for everybody.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: What happens when you entrust the apocalypse into the hands of a yuppy demon and an ambiguously gay angel who've had 6000 years to get accustomed to life on earth? The funniest damn version of the end of the world ever written. Rife with humor, Good...

Pros: Hilarious, great story.
Cons: What cons?
The Bottom Line: Like a bookreview said: Heaven to read and you'll laugh like hell!
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: What's not to like about this great book. It's not just funny (by the way it's hilarious), it's also a good story (by the way it's literature) and it deals with a subject. It is a sort of "Satanic Verses" for christianity, but with the usual...
