About the authors
Neil Gaiman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, including Norse Mythology, Neverwhere, and The Graveyard Book. Among his numerous literary awards are the Newbery and Carnegie medals, and the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner awards. He is a Professor in the Arts at Bard College.
Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

- Reviewed in India on 9 April 2020Verified PurchaseI do not believe that there is anything that I can say about this book that would express how amazing it is, but I shall try nonetheless. The story follows an angel, a demon, and their plan (and I use that term loosely) to foul the coming apocalypse. The Antichrist has been born but even that did not go the way Heaven or Hell wanted it to. Aziraphale (the angel) and Crowley (the demon) have a kind of familiarity that borders on friendship, although none of them wants to admit to that. But what else is to be expected when you have spent centuries, since the dawn of the human race, living lives that intertwine. They may be divine (one of them formerly), but they are creatures nonetheless.
Written by two authors, Good Omens is a ride that you do not want to hop off of. It is the satire of the ages, a bud that blooms into a beautiful flower. Although it separately follows many different characters, you are not once bored or just reading to get to your favourite. The story weaves between all of these characters' journeys and you cannot wait to see where this journey will end; even though you have a pretty good idea of it. It is the Apocalypse, after all.
Humorous and sublime, and at time hilarious beyond measure, Good Omens is a good read for anyone and everyone. The writing never lets you down as the tension and excitement build as we loom closer and closer to the Apocalypse. The story is unpredictable and a whirlwind ride. Nothing ever goes according to Crowley and Aziraphale's design. While the forces of Heaven and Hell wait to for fulfilment of the inevitable divine plan, the two wonder whether that plan is the plan after all.
If this book seems like something you would enjoy, check out Good Omens TV series on Prime Video, which does the books justice and is breathtakingly good.

- Reviewed in India on 1 May 2018Verified PurchaseBest described as Neil Gaiman themes presented in Terry Pratchett's world, this often hilarious novel about armageddon gone horribly wrong is a treat for Pratchett and Gaiman fans. However, if truth be told, it is really Pratchett's trademark humour, narrative and characterisation that dominate the novel and therefore it will definitely appeal to his fans.
Despite its virtues it does have sluggish phases which could have been left out. It is really about the two central characters (a demon and an angel who have become reluctant friends over the millennia) and the novel is at its best when it concentrates on them, which is thankfully most of the time.
Ideal as a quick, enjoyable weekend read!

- Reviewed in India on 6 February 2018Verified PurchaseIt was meant to be too good.
It was. For about 7/8th of its some 400-pages, it was. Then it wasn't.
It starts off great. Too funny. Wicked funny. Un-put-down-able. I knew it was 400 pages, that too with small font, but I wasn't worried. It was a fast read. Too interesting. A real page-turner, in the most honest sense of the phrase. Crowley was a darling (he remained so till the end - his end or the book's, you ask?). Aziraphale too. And Shadwell. The others helped.
But the end neared and the book wasn't funny anymore. The story got busy in tying up all the threads it had bared, and became slow, sombre and mundane.
Halfway through the book I pondered over the possible ending. "How could this fun story of the not-funny business of Apocalypse end?", I asked myself*. The conflict was inherent and evident, between the funny and the non-funny. I couldn't figure it out. I didn't care. It didn't matter. I was too excited. I read on. Happily.
And then the End arrived. And disappointed. It became preachy-ish. The preachy-ness could be seen in the book early-on too, small sprinkles here and there. It was small, and assimilated well, and felt good with the flow. Then a big spoonful of it was thrown in and it felt as if two different books were written and then bound together one after the other. It didn't feel like the same book anymore.
I wish I could have enjoyed it more, like most people around here. But the ending just couldn't do justice to the whole concept.
*I believe there couldn't have been a nice ending to this. It was all too good to be true to end.

Bought for ₹288 from Amazing Buy. No complaints regarding the piece received or its delivery.
The book has a white cover with a black Crowley on it. The font is small.

The book is such a fun read about the birth of the son of Satan and the coming of the End Times.
The angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were to look after the earth and when the time comes they are to make sure the 'end of world' happens perfectly.
But they have become alittle too accustomed to their comfortable surroundings in England and also kind of developed a liking for the humankind.
And when the time comes, they unknowingly mess up on the day of birth of 'Antichrist', who is now growing up with the wrong family, in the wrong village. So when the day comes and so do the 'Four Horsemen of the apocalypse' its all a huge mess and our angel and demon want to sabotage the D-DAY.
Filled with fun characters, that have enough space to breathe,the friendship between 'the them' and the angel and demon is to die for, & filled with mystical characters perfectly blended with the 90s nostalgia, this is a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Read—Even Better After Watching the TV Series
Verified PurchaseI decided to read Good Omens after watching the TV adaptation, and I have to say, the book is even more delightful! Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman have created a perfect blend of humor, wit, and heart in this story about the apocalypse, with quirky characters and a plot that’s both chaotic and brilliant.
What I loved most is how well the book complements the series, diving deeper into the characters’ minds and the offbeat, whimsical world they inhabit. Crowley and Aziraphale’s dynamic is just as charming, and the humor is even more pronounced on the page. Pratchett’s comedic touches mixed with Gaiman’s darker storytelling create a balance that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
While the show was a fantastic adaptation, the book offers so much more detail, especially in terms of the satirical commentary on humanity, good vs. evil, and fate. It’s a lighthearted take on the end of the world that’s full of memorable moments, sharp dialogue, and unexpected twists.
If you enjoyed the show, you’ll absolutely love the book—it’s a must-read!

5.0 out of 5 stars De bons présages, de bons moments !
Verified PurchaseUn livre à 4 mains très fluide. Les personnages sont marquants et les événements qu'ils doivent affronter très bien décrits. Et comment ne pas évoquer l’humour ! C’est vraiment très drôle et l’histoire est en quelques sortes une parodie de la bible et des films d’action hollywoodiens, donnant un mélange détonnant !

1.0 out of 5 stars Dit is niet de zwart/gele versie
Verified PurchaseDeze review is niet over het boek zelf, wat ik echt geweldig vind.
Ik had dit boek besteld omdat er op de foto een zwart/geel versie staat, maar als het pakje toegekomen was bleek het een witte versie te zijn (zie foto), en deze versie heb ik al.
Ik blijf nog steeds op zoek naar de zwart/geel versie!
