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.

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.

Where on Earth is the Antichrist?

A hilarious story about the coming end of the world, angels, demons, satanists, occultists, and the how the antichrist plays with his friends.

As an audiobook, it is superb. The voice acting by Martin Jarvis made it all the more enjoyable and laugh-inducing! If his name pops up on other titles I'm looking at, I'll be hearing his performance.

I've read books by Neil Gaiman, but hadn't read any by Terry Pratchett before. Likely going to check out his books with how much hilarity there was throughout.

Awesome!

Great twist on the war between heaven and hell. I really enjoyed how an angel and demon worked together but understood they were on different sides. It was also very funny!

A book to read/listen at least once a year!

Since I was introduced to Good Omens, my life followed the nice and precise routine of reading or listening to this wonderful piece of work once a year. Mostly to see the gang again and get my hopes up regarding mankind in general. This is a must in every bookshelf, and the audio version in question just adds to the wonder.

Get this book!

Absolutely brilliant storytelling performance for a fantastic book. There are enough lines of this story that all weave together to fill several lesser books. The narrator superbly weaves all the lines and plot twists with the skill and care of a master weaver!

Crazy and compelling

The plot of this story is crazy, yet it is very compelling to read. Good and evil are neither so good nor evil; they unite with great British humor in an attempt to save the world from destruction. Well read.
