Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

I 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.

Great book and in good condition!

Best 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!

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. And so it starts, the apocalypse is here , the end of everything. The four horsemen finally ride together to bring the end and all they need is an Antichrist to guide them. Herein lies the problem, someone lost the antichrist and both the demons and angels are out to find him. This book is a work of genius and is the perfect mix of Pratchett's humor with Neil Gaiman's dark narrative. It's not just direct plot and dialogues, this is a philosophical work written in a manner that is satirical in nature. The Good and Evil work together to thwart the doomsday and along the way it makes you think about the world in general. This has to be my favourite book of the year. Must read.

It 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. Recommended watch: Dogma 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.

Author - Terry Pratchett Neil Gaiman Genre - Fantasy-Comedy Publisher - @gollancz / @workmanpub / corgi Published in 1990 Pages - 288 Rating - 4.5/5 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. .

In my Kindle app I was once shown this book with the but with one click link below. I clicked it absent mindedly... and it got purchased! Instead of doing anything to revert the process, I decided this was an opportunity to read a fiction after who knows how many years. Turns out the book was pretty fun to read, although I have to admit I'm not very comfortable with the kind of English being used here. Maybe because English is not my native language, and possibly because I'm more comfortable with American English .. I don't know. In any case, after a 100 page or so, I kind of got sucked into the world of this book and just now finished the whole thing. I think it took me a couple of days, or maybe three. The point is, I did enjoy reading the book.

Incredible

brilliant book, loved it and no one is getting a lend of it because I'll never get it back

This is the book I keep going back to. I adore the language, the humour, the imagination, the premise and the plot. Most importantly, I feel that the mindset behind matches mine so well. In a way, it shaped me as a reader, sort ot set a standard of what I call a good read

I saw the series first and as a book lover I HAD to read this. Oh my, that's the best decision I've ever made. I don't understand why nobody around me talked about it before 😭😭 it's hilarious, witty, the writing style is delicious and Crowley is my favourite character all books combined. I'd read a million books about just him and Aziraphale if they existed with ZERO issue at all. Neil and Terry did a brilliant job, I can't say it otherwise, this book is a masterpiece. I'm almost sad I won't experience reading it for the first time again 🥲

The book is awesome but some of the things came damaged like the book was bent and a few pages were miss printed :/
