Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman ~ Audiobook Review

 

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.

So the armies of good and evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to divine plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and fast-living demon—both of whom have lived among Earth’s mortals since the beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplace the Antichrist…

My Rating ~ 2 bites




So, I finished this audiobook in October of 2024. I had such high hopes for it considering how much people were saying they loved it. Or maybe they just loved the show? I’m not sure. But now that it’s been *looks at watch* 15 months since I listened to the book, I honestly don’t remember very much of it. I think, while it is meant to be humorous, I found most of it to be too silly for my tastes. Maybe the show is better? I might watch it at some point.
