The world is preparing to come to an end according to the Divine Plan recorded in the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded 1655). Meanwhile, a fussy angel and a fast-living demon have grown fond of living among the earth's mortals for many millennia and are not looking forward to the apocalypse. If Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they must find and kill the Antichrist.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

An excellent reading of an excellent book submitted by cherylo on July 9, 2011, 5:05pm If the end of the world were written as a comedy mini-series, this should be it. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman have written a brilliantly funny and biting satire of the end of the world. I recommend this book heartily to anyone, and the audiobook is particularly good for car trips. Some mild profanity.

Biblical apocaplyse submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 17, 2012, 1:14pm Co-written by beloved British science fiction/fantasy authors Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, "Good Omens" takes a hilarious look at Biblical apocalyptic predictions.
Demons and angels have their jobs to do, as do witch hunters and those trying to bring about the end of the world, but many of them have gotten lazy over the millenia and some are trying too hard without any success. The story is about the Anti-Christ, born and raised in suburban England and Hell's attempts to get him to get him to bring about the Apocalypse but with funny, unintended consequences. They try to send him a Hell Hound, but it ends up turning into its master's ideal pet...a small mutt with mismatched ears. Four bikers want to be the new Horsemen of the Apocalypse but fail due to their lack of imagination and commitment.
I recommend all these authors' works, so you can well imaging that "Good Omens" is a great collaborative work.

nice submitted by nicenora2371 on July 12, 2013, 5:19pm nice writing in the cover

a go-to favorite submitted by smerlewine on June 17, 2014, 8:00pm I've re-read this book more times than I can count and it gets better every single time. Gaiman and Pratchett are superlative writers on their own but together they're truly magnificent.

Good Omens : The Nice And Accurate Prophecies Of Agnes Nutter, Witch submitted by lstorc on August 5, 2018, 10:54pm I rarely stopped laughing. This was fantastic we told and easy to engage with.

Excellent Audiobook submitted by k8e on June 16, 2019, 8:56am Love the book, love the audiobook even more. Martin Jarvis does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.

you have to be in the right mindset submitted by camelsamba on July 1, 2021, 11:11pm I've enjoyed most of the Terry Pratchett books I've read; a little more patchy on Neil Gaiman. However, I hard a really hard time getting into this one. In fact, there were many times I almost quit. But there must have been something, because I kept listening. It is weird and wacky, but requires a certain mindset to fully appreciate.

A great way to spend 12 hours submitted by jmb.mlis on July 30, 2022, 2:03pm You should definitely listen to this great production before binging the mini series!
