Come, Armageddon, Come

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: The thing. What d?you call it in your colorful idiom? The line at the bottom.
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, although I...

These Good Omen's are not horrific!

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great collaboration.
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, their...

Pratchett's Hilarity meets Gaiman's Elegance

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2000
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...

The apocalypse has never been funnier

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Extremely funny. Very well written. Might contain themes that people are uncomfortable laughing at. (maybe not.)
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...

the end of the world... or is it?

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 1999
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...

Good omens from Gaiman and Pratchett

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2003
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.
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...

Armageddon - what's it about?

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Comedy at its best. If you've never laughed out loud while reading a book, here's your chance.
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...

The ineffible plan... or is it?

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: A book worth having in your collection, a definite must read for everybody.
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...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Apocalypse

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
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...

Heaven to read and you'll laugh like hell

Date of Review:  May 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: Like a bookreview said: Heaven to read and you'll laugh like hell!
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...
