Publisher's summary

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Put New York Times best-selling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett together...and all Hell breaks loose.
©1990 Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers

Critic reviews

"Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again." (Amazon.com review)

Featured Article: Good Omens, Explained


Good Omens, a very hilarious (and very British) adult fantasy novel by beloved authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, has amassed a large, faithful following over the three decades since it was first published in 1990. And now, thanks to the recent Amazon Prime TV adaptation, Good Omens is more popular than ever. If you're not too familiar with either the book or the show, references to Aziraphale or Agnes Nutter may leave you scratching your head. That's why we're here with everything you need to know about Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch.

I love this book!

This is my favorite book. The reason I didn't give the performance 5 stars is there are some characters whose voices are really irritating.

Must read

Between the delivery and the author, this is a very humorous book. Very whimsical story, unexpected twists yet fulfilling follow through on reader's questions of the plot.

Genius!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves smart fiction. Neil and Terry are pure genius.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Crowley. He's just so wonderfully snarky and smart. I love how he is rebelling against the common order to achieve his goals.

Which character – as performed by Martin Jarvis – was your favorite?

I really like Crowley the best.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud at several explanations of things because it was always a moment of "Yeah, I can picture that."

Any additional comments?

A must listen for anyone who enjoys Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's hard to know where one begins and the other starts!

I promise I'm not overrating this book

It really is that good. And listening to the audio book was a great choice. It really only added to the story.

Fun, clever but quite a meh end.

It's a very fun book, many memorable characters, but felt the end a bit weak for my taste. Martin Jarvis is so versatile!!!! He was really wonderful, a fan of him now!!!
