Good Omens

Author: Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett


 I had so much fun reading this book! It reminded me of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. So if you liked that book, I think you will like this too. It is full humor and the kind of humor that I only saw in HHGG!

Crowley is a demon and Aziraphale is an angel. While at odds because of their profession, they do get along well because they are the only two from their world on this earth who have been living on the earth for so long. They have not only adjusted to the lifestyle on Earth but also understand humans. 

There is a book of prophecies, The nice and accurate prophecies of Agnes Nutter, written 100s of years ago. However, all it's prophecies have come true in one way or another. It says that the world is going to end this Saturday. So the armies of Good and Evil start preparation to come out as winner when the apocalypse happens. Crowley and Aziraphale are not very happy about it because they like to live on Earth. There is something or rather somebody who can prevent this from happening. They can prevent it from happening and they can also make it happen. The armies of Good and Evil search for him, each for their own benefit.

After reading this book I'm tempted to read more from this author. It was sheer joy reading this book!
