    About this ebook

    The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, soon to be an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

    ?Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!

    “Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.” —Washington Post


    According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

    So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

    And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

    Editor's Note

    The apocalypse derailed…

    Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s collaboration is a cult classic for a reason. It’s an absurdly funny commentary on good vs. evil, nature vs. nurture, and the true nature of free choice. If you’re a fan of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and haven’t read “Good Omens,” you’ll definitely want to pick it up, especially now that an Amazon adaptation starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen has been released.

      Perfectly wacky and highly entertaining!
    • 4/5
      Funny and satisfying. Neil Gaiman is one of my favorites but this one is not one of my favorites from him, yet I don't mind re-reading this later in the future.
    • 4/5
      This was OK. Not anything super special, but a well told humorous story.
    • 4/5
      It's an old favorite that I read a long time ago, so I thought I'd try the audiobook. The narrator is OK, but could have been better with some voice characterizations. It's still charming and silly.
    • 5/5
      My first Pratchett, definitely not my last! This was a hilarious wild ride that had me laughing out loud constantly. Excellent fun!
    • 4/5
      Hilarious.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this tongue in cheek telling of the end of the world. Well, what was nearly the end anyway. I've enjoyed books written by both Pratchett and Gaiman individually, and this cooperative effort completely paid off. Completely in the spirit of a Douglas Adams book or Mel Brooks movie, this had me laughing out loud on several occasions. Even the author's notes at the end made me smile.
    • 5/5
      Light yet intelligent. Laugh out loud funny. Feel good without being insipid. The Hitchhiker's Guide of Armageddon. Pratchett & Gaiman match up perfectly - like roasted red bell peppers and goat cheese. One of my all time favorites.
    • 5/5
      Good Omens is a great read. It feels like a good Monty Python sketch mixed with Terry Pratchett's sci-fi wit and Neal Gaiman's off sense humor. Thoroughly enjoyed and may have been dropped in the bath.
    • 3/5
      This was a very cleverly written book, which was well constructed and had plenty of amusing lines that made you laugh (possibly not out loud though). I think this will make a great film, or even be good as an audiobook, however I struggled to read too much at one time and had to keep coming back to it after short breaks. Perhaps it was my mood because it was a book I feel I should have enjoyed more. Somewhere between a pick and so-so for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️
    • 5/5
      What a wonderful novel Good Omens is! It has everything: a very British sense of humour, a cast of mostly slightly inept but endearing characters who you can't help but root for (even when they're on Satan's side), and a ridiculous but gripping plot. I'm already a Terry Pratchett fan, but I went out and bought one Neil Gaiman's novels when I was partway through Good Omens because I thought it was probably criminal that I hadn't read anything of his previously.Honestly, this was exactly what I needed to get me through the political shambles of Brexit at the moment (now there's a topic that Gaiman and Pratchett would've excelled at skewering in a book!).
    • 4/5
      If you’ve never heard of this book before now, you probably will do very soon because Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman has been filmed as a television series and is due to be released this year (with David Tennant of Doctor Who, Miranda Richardson of Blackadder II and Michael Sheen of everything else).Good Omens is an undisguised parody of The Omen (with the child anti-Christ Damien Thorn) but has also been influenced by Milton’s Paradise Lost (the usurper angel thrown out of heaven establishing his dominion on Earth), then strangely tips its lid to an ancient British television show for children called Stig of The Dump. It is also a golden event in the history of entertainment fiction, a “Dr Livingstone, I presume?” moment or “In this decade we choose to go to the Moon and do the other things” – Well, in that decade Pratchett and Gaiman chose to actually work together.When I read this unusual alloy of good and bad, contrasting jolly tongue-in-cheek humour (Pratchett) and elements of degraded horror (Gaiman – with his cloud of flies screaming down the phone line and defleshing you), I guessed pretty quickly which ideas were from Terry Pratchett and which came from Neil Gaiman. They both did their thing and both stuck to their previous style, foregoing the middle ground. That’s the correct way to write this book when it is intended to capture a deliberate contrast of inharmonious sides like good and bad, heaven and hell, music and discord, but the price of applying this is it comes across as disjointed, where the flow will stop and start and stop. You can’t achieve A without B, so this is impossible to criticise.Absolute good and bad are relative abstract concepts that never compromise, so personifications of those two things (angels and devils) shouldn’t compromise either. Several of the kookier moments in this story are when those ideal representations have been affected by close proximity to humanity (we’ve come of age and corrupted them) as the Arch-Angel and Demon reached work-arounds of their own. This is all done in the spirit of Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana, in which a spy living far from home starts sending invented reports to his employer to justify his expenses, and also Joseph Heller’s Catch 22, in which a US Airforce officer in a war zone makes an arrangement with the enemy that they’ll both bomb their own airfields because that would have to happen anyway and it’s much safer and more efficient not to fly into enemy airspace. The practicalities of an angel and a devil carrying out each other’s temptations and miracles, e.g. “If you’re up in the North of England anyway, could you do one of mine?” are logical but hint God isn’t omnipotent or there’d be hell to pay. Alternatively, maybe the divine entity is amused by the thought that everyone develops their own renegade personality if given enough freedom, even those who are created with invulnerable minds (a design flaw?). It’s reassuring to think human nature will infect and overcome these grand presumptions. Black and white? No. It’s all endless shades of grey – and probably about time the supernatural authorities realised it.The other cultural reference I think has been reinvented in Good Omens is a Peter Cook & Dudley Moore film from the 1960s called Bedazzled. In this, a devil stuck on Earth and very bored with his lot amuses himself by degrading people’s quality of life by such acts as scratching their LP records and making sure that plastic bottles of brown sauce in nasty transport cafés squirt sideways onto people’s clothes. This is a beautiful way to spend eternity and I think the prospect of endless inventive fun is quite worth being corrupted for.It isn’t Pratchett’s best book and it isn’t Gaiman’s either, but it is a joining of both worlds and that fumbling makes it something special. You can see they had ridiculous fun, although it could also be the case that their ‘cooperation’ might have involved writing their own sequences on opposite ends of the planet. It was worth it though. This was never meant to be high-end entertainment, just funny and imaginative, an intention achieved sublimely. If you had to pick a senior and junior partner in craft (at the time of writing, published 1990), the accolade would have to go to Terry Pratchett because the inclusion of a prophetic witch of the Middle Ages who came up such gems as “Do notte Buye Betamax” is an outstanding piece of invention. No one in her family understands these prophecies until their time in the cultural record comes about. That character, Agnes Nutter, has overtones of Esme Weatherwax but is a comedy classic invention in her own right. I can see that Pratchett had a physical malleable history idea before, when he wrote a preface which spoke of miners who found a coal seam with a fossil of a tyrannosaurus in it, holding a silver dollar. He said that kind of anomalous history isn’t reported because it undermines out sense of control over reality.Good Omens is not supposed to be critically dissected and taken seriously or to have its success evaluated by publishing accountants because it represents a pair of important writers with richly creative minds meeting up and having fun. They’re entertaining themselves, enjoying the glow of working in each other’s company. If it makes the reader’s day as well, that’s great, but I get the sense we are voyeuristically gazing through the window here into Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett’s private party.
    • 5/5
      Outstanding. Imaginative. Old characters writ new. Perfect illustration re no new stories under the sun and yet the telling can be fresh and "original."
    • 5/5
      I love the whole idea of this book, particularly the passages about the M25 and it made me laugh out loud. Sublime.
    • 5/5
      Alright, so this is my favourite book of all time. I admit it.
    • 4/5
      Very amusing. I love dry Brittish humor, and this book satisfied on that level. Clever concept, interesting premise - just good funny, fun!
    • 5/5
      This is my favorite book in the world! Hilarious and totally fun, the story had me laughing out loud throughout. Very much enjoyable, this is something I'd read over and over and over again!
    • 4/5
      A very Discworld novel, just not in the Discworld universe. The Earth is 6,000 years old, and the Antichrist is eleven years old. Fun read.
    • 5/5
      This book had me rolling on the floor with laughter. This book is not for you if you are easily offended by jokes about religion (You will better understand the book if you have some background knowledge). However, if you have a sense of humor when it comes to religion, you need to pick up this book!
    • 5/5
      A fun romp through the English countryside, humour always present, but also some surprising digs at fundamentalist religion.
    • 2/5
      Some parts are funny, but half of this reads like a bad episode of Rugrats.
    • 5/5
      THe prefect marriage between gaiman's dark side and pratchett's humour. Both men being kings of human obersvation, this is a marriage made in heaven. Or hell. or both! :)
    • 4/5
      There's been a huge mistake. Two babies have been switched at birth. Now, a normal little boy is being raised to lead the hounds of Hell and the Antichrist is trying to get his suburbian friends to help him rule the world. Through all of this, angles, demons, and the decendant of a prophet try to preven the end of the world--and succeed in getting me to fall off my chair laughing more than once. This is the first book I read by either author and turned me quickly to their other writings. I'm in love.
    • 5/5
      Good Omens: The Nice (True) and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch a novel written in collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The book is a comedy about the birth of the son (Spawn) of Satan, the coming of the End Times, and the attempts of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley to stop it, having become accustomed to their comfortable situations in the human world. A subplot features the growing up of the Antichrist, Adam, and his gang (the Them), and the gathering of the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse The novel covers an 11 year period—from the birth of the Antichrist to the “last” day. This potential last day comes as a bit of bad news to Aziraphale (who was the guardian of the Gate of Eden) and Crowley (who was the serpent who tempted Eve to eat the apple), respectively the representatives of Heaven and Hell on Earth, as they have taken a liking to humanity (and all of the world’s comforts). Since, they are good friends (surprisingly) they decide to work together and keep an eye on the Antichrist, and ensure he grows up in a way that means he can never decide between Good and Evil, thereby postponing the end of the world. Unfortunately, Warlock, the child everyone thinks is the Anti-Christ is, in fact, a perfectly normal eleven-year-old boy. Due to mishandling of several infants in the hospital, the real Antichrist is Adam Young, an otherworldly eleven-year-old living in Oxfordshire. Despite being the Spawn of Satan, he has lived a perfectly normal life as the son of typical English parents and as a result has no idea of his true powers. Among some of the other subplots are the very accurate prophecy by a 17th century witch and her descendent, a couple of witch hunters, a hellhound who prefers being a real dog and doesn’t want to go back to being a hellhound (he would miss the smells) and how any cassette tape will eventually transform into Queen’s greatest hits. This book is funny, irreverent, and at times surprisingly insightful—(Adam learns that he can’t be messing about with the world—it will just make things worse and man needs to figure things out for himself). It continues my love affair with Neil Gaiman, and now Terry Pratchett. Though not my favorite Gaiman book (that is still the Graveyard Book)—it still ranks toward the top of my favorite books. 4 ½ out of 5 stars.
    • 4/5
      It started off great. The concept is amazing and amusing, characters are intriguing and are starting to develop well, the whole idea of satirizing religion and how people take it seriously in such intelligent and 'elegant' way, by imagining what could possibly go wrong if the religious predictions were to come true, is refreshing, and from the moment I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down because I so wanted to see what will happen next, and still, despite that, there were many parts where I just stopped and paused, cause the whole story is full of ideas and things that just make you wonder and think about them, or explore them further if they have already crossed your mind. And when you laugh, you in a way laugh at yourself in the same way Adams makes you do in The Guide. But what disappointed me most, is the ending. It's like one third of the book is missing or something. Hills were shaking, a mouse was born. You expect something really special, and you get....hmm. Everything unfolded to quickly. Like they got bored with writing it, and the just wanted it to end. It was way to naïve and simple. The characters that were introduced in such a big way, so you expected them to do something big, and important simply vanished in a way that you start wondering why were they even there?! (I'm speaking of course about the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse, and I have to add that the concept of Pollution really amazed me since in the Bible the fourth rider besides Death, War and Famine is not so clearly defined as the other 3, so thumbs up for Gaiman's and Pratchett's interpretation, warning in a way). Like I said, generally, very amusing and intelligent, too bad about the sloppy ending. Otherwise, it would be whole 5 stars. (P.s. It would be really great if somehow they would change their minds and decided to write a sequel, so I'm hoping for that.)
    • 4/5
      A great plot that started off hilarious but got progressively less humorous for me as the book went on.
    • 4/5
      Funny.

      Right off the bat, a humorous look at the apocalypse that totally delivers on the laughs. Not that I've read any Terry Pratchett yet, but a recommended read for his, and Gaiman's, fans. And both authors write in each other's style so well, you hardly know you're reading a collaboration. It feels like a novel from one author. And as someone who has read no Pratchett and a lot of Gaiman, I cannot tell what part is written by what author. Very well done.
    • 4/5
      The time has finally come. Now is the time of the end of the world and the final show-off between good and evil. Except things do not quite work out as planned this time lead to many embarrassing and hilarious situations.
    • 4/5
      Good Omens chronicles the exploits of two angles, one good and one…well sort of bad, but not in a mean way and their struggle to prevent the apocalypse. The cast of minor characters includes a modern day descendent of Agnes Nutter, the only person to accurately predict the end of the world. The four horsemen of the apocalypse and their biker groupies and two bumbling witch hunters are also given great play. And of course, the anti-Christ. Who is really an 11 year old boy who just wants to hang out with his friends in his beloved English village. Pay special attention to the cliff notes at the bottom the book. They are highly amusing and add much needed explanation to the story.
    • 5/5
      This is hands down one of the funniest books I've ever read. While Gaimen and Pratchett have a similar sense of humor, their writing styles are very different yet they managed to blend the two perfectly is this hilarious take on the end of the world. Crowley (a demon living the good-life and loving every minute of it) and Aziraphale (an angel on assignment on earth) are actually pals due to a shared understanding...both of them are happy where they are and neither wishes to return to where they came from. So the pair has formed an unlikely friendship with the goal of staying put. But then, news is delivered that the end of the world is approaching and the two will be expected to return and do real work. Such a horrific thought sends them into action. They have to find the antichrist and kill him before he ruins the good thing they've got going for them. Too bad when the antichrist was born there was a mix-up at the hospital and he was sent to live with the wrong family. And so begins a zany yet dark romp that introduces us to the kinds of colorful characters one can expect from Pratchett and Gaiman. This book had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. And the great thing is you don't have to be familiar with Gaiman and Pratchett's other work to follow the story (though it does help a bit). Read it!! You won't be sorry.
    • 4/5
      I liked Good Omens, but I didn't like it as much as the other works of Gaiman or Pratchett. I think I kept expecting it to settle into the style of one or the other of them, and so that tension kept me from enjoying it as much as I might have. (In truth, if I had come to it without knowing who it was written by, I might have liked it a lot better.)
