Anybody read this fantastically hilarious Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman book? I'm so obsessed with it right now it's not even funny.

I haven't but a friend has. I really want to, though. I love what I've read of Neil Gaiman's stuff. biggrin

You know that horror movie "The Omen"? Well, it's like that, the antichrist comes, but it's absolutely hilarious. Its very british humor, but it's really got some great stuff in it.

I like Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I started to read the book and enjoyed it but then I guess I put it down and never picked it up again... I only got about seventy pages or so into it. Perhaps I shall start it again.

I love Good Omens. My poor book has gotten pretty dog-eared because of how many times I've read it. Also, I tend to lend it to other people in the hopes that they'll read it. Good books should be shared, right?
I like how funny it can get and the footnotes. While I like all the characters, I lean towards the Them and Aziraphale as my favorites.

It's one of those books that holds up to re-reading very well. I always find little jokes and allusions I hadn't seen before.

Good Omens is pretty much amazing. I own a copy (a nice new hardcover one with author dialogs in the back and Crowley on the front ^_^), though I've only had time to read it once.
The book is pretty much about an angel and a demon who get along as well as angels and demons can, and they decide that they rather like the earth and want to stop the Apocalypse from happening. If it's not the funniest book I've ever read, it's on par with the HGG series. See if your library has it. It's great.

I just finished reading Good Omens a few days ago. Awesome book! I'll have to check out more by the same authors.

This is absolutely one of my favorite books of all time. Love the interplay between Aziraphale and Crowley; that's probably the best part of the book for me. My poor little paperback copy is just devastated though, having been lent out to at least ten people and gotten lost behind a mattress for about six months. sweatdrop
I look in on a livejournal community called Lower Tadfield every once in awhile, they have a lot of fanart/fanfic that's pretty intelligent and well-done.

I liked the first half of the book, especially Crowley. Somewhere in the second half I lost interest, and to started reading something else instead. I was very excited to see what was going to happen, but (at least in the section I was reading at the time) not much was happening.
Of course, I'm not trying to connivence anyone that the book's bad. That would be silly since most people on the thread have read the book and liked it.

Yeah, Aziraphale and Crowley rock. ^_^ And Dog. But let's not forget the Riders, either. Both sets. Especially Pollution, he was so unexpectedly poetic.
Man, though, I have to say, it took me FOREVER to find this book. I'd heard about it from lots of people, but since it went out of print in the '90s or so, I couldn't find it anywhere. I about died when I saw it in stores. biggrin
I was going to help you people who couldn't find it by posting its fictionbook.ru URL, but it seems they've taken it down. Oh well, it was illegal anyway.

Wow, we have a GO thread here! Pollution's poetic in the morbid way xd Wait, what did you say? Out of print? No way! No wonder why we can't get it here! D8 Well, it was out in Chinese last month, so my friend can already get it in China. I think the French version is should be still in print as well.
Crowley is such a cute demon! Seriously, tie up cell phone lines is his evil deed of the day? I bet homework must be his doing too, following this logic.

You may have something there. And, now that you mention that, I think I need to track him down and kill him. lol
