Good Omens - Neil Gaiman Reviews

Good Omens is the result of a collaboration between good friends Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, when neither one of them was particularly famous or popular, one day when they were bored and wanted to write something interesting. The story was about an angel and a demon, who after having spent every single day of existence on Earth, are ...  Read the complete review

From the best creative partnership since Rogers and Hammerstein comes 'Good Omens,' a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Each brings something to the narrative style; Gaiman's dark humour is lifted by Pratchett's wit, while Pratchett's often-wandering narrative is focussed by Gaiman's grittiness. The result is a book ...  Read the complete review

Terry Pratchett And Neil Gaiman Good Omens Well I was thinking of writing another music review but couldnt think of any albums to write about so instead we are going to lean over and pick up a nicely sized novel by a certain Mr T. Pratchett and his friend Mr N. Gaiman, entitled Good Omens, which was realeased upon ...  Read the complete review

Good Omen's is the ingenious retelling of the apocalypse. The brilliance grows form the collaboration between aspired novel writers Pratchett's and Gaiman. The fear of the arrival of the prophesised Antichrist Adam has forced second-rate angel Aziraphale and second-rate demon Crowley to work together in order to save humanity. ...  Read the complete review

My roommate introduced me to Good Omens and Terry Pratchet a few months ago, and I must say that it was not only a highly enjoyable read, but also one of the funniest novels I have ever laid my eyes on. There is a fair amount of exquisite social satire, taking direct shots at the major world religions and common perceptions of ...  Read the complete review

This is a humorous take on the omen series of books. In this book, the same as in the omen, the antichrist is swapped with a human child in order to bring about the end of the world. However, neither good nor evil could predict that their plan would be upset by one of their own side. Namely the Angel Aziraphale and the Demon Crowley ...  Read the complete review

This literally is the funniest book I have ever read. Jointly written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, well known for the Discworld series, it has all the humourous imagery and language that many enjoy in the Discworld series, but it avoids the complicated and wandering storylines. The storyline spoofs well known books or ...  Read the complete review

A huge fan of Pratchett's Discworld novels, I was a bit wary of this collaboration with Gaiman since it wasn't set in that universe and had none of the characters I'm familiar with (I was wrong about that, actually - Death, who TALKS LIKE THAT still manages to crop up). I needn't have worried. Since picking up a copy of ...  Read the complete review

I don't think i have ever read a fiction book written by two people at one time? I was worried that the story wouldn't flow and - being a big terry pratchett fan, I thought that it would be really obvious which bits he had written and which bits were added by Neil Giaman.... I was wrong on both points. There are ...  Read the complete review

Good Omens is easily the funniest book I have ever read - and I've read a lot of funny books; this one even surpasses the Discworld series. It's about the Anti-Christ, who is a little boy, called Adam, living with a perfectly normal family and totally unaware that he is the spawn of Satan. In fact, the idea is not that he is evil ...  Read the complete 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 Discworld series - need I say more? The central characters are the ...  Read the complete review

This really is one of my favourite books around, combining the skills of Gaiman and Pratchett to spin a yarn about the upcoming apocalypse was a truly ingenious idea and I, for one, applaud whoever first thought of it. Pratchett brings his usual tomfoolery and skilful comedic writing together with Gaiman's love of the supernatural ...  Read the complete review
