Book Reviews of Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Book Review: Appocalypse here we come!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book by two authors that are in my hero list. Quite simply, BUY IT!!!! If you like things like Harry Potter, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galxy or loved the film Dogma you'll LOVE this book!!Book Review: Possibly the funniest book I've ever read - in 40 years!
Summary: 5 Stars
From start to finish this book is so cleverly written. Once you start reading you won't want to put the book down. Every part of "The Establishment" gets the treatment - nothing is sacred. For my money it's the best read I've had in ages. I just can't understand why it hasn't been made into a feature film.Book Review: Thought provoking and funny
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? I've read Good Omens countless times and still, it is one of the best books I have ever read in my life.The hilarious use of otherwordly characters is spot-on (the devil-dog that becomes a terrier and discovers cats) and the interesting interaction between the angel and the demon.
But the best part is how thoughtful the book. It captures what I believe is true human nature, caught between light and dark, equal parts demonic and angelic (some humans will do things even demons would find squeamish). In a way, there is much religious connonation to this story, whether that was intentional or not.
Buy the book, read the book, love the book, and then read it again.
Book Review: Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best book i have ever read. Hilarious, realistic and thought provoking, it is a must read for anyone with an ounce of humour in them. For everyone else it's just a great book. To put it simply, read it!
Book Review: It was all written... well, almost.
Summary: 4 Stars
Next week is the End of the World. But as Armageddon steadily approaches, as prophecied by Agnes Nutter the Witch, Aziraphale the Good Angel and Crowley the "Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards" are just starting to realize that maybe it isn't such a good idea.In the meantime, babies are swapped, the Witchfinder Army investigates and the Four Horsem- Bikers of the Apocalypse, Hell's Angles of course, along with the four other Bikers of the Apocalypse and the four teenage Cyclists of the Apocalyse all converge to Lower Tadfield in Southern England where it's all supposed to happen.
With a plethora of characters, puns round every corner and hilarious footnotes, Good Omens is not only another version of Good vs. Evil, but is also a pure delight when it comes to train your zygomatics.
