Publisher Description
GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 COMING 28TH JULY ON AMAZON PRIME.
The book behind the Amazon Prime / BBC Series starring David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Benedict Cumberbatch.
'Ridiculously inventive and gloriously funny' Guardian
What if, for once, the predictions are right, and the Apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea?
It's a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, now find themselves in. They've been living amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse.
And then there's the small matter that someone appears to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Acclaimed fantasy authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman teamed up for this wry, pre-apocalyptic comedy of errors. Due to a hospital mix-up in England, a normal boy named Warlock is presumed to be the Antichrist; Adam Young, the actual Antichrist, is raised as a normal boy. Swirling around this pair are witches, angels, demons and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, all straining against their celestial roles while hell-bent on fulfilling them. Hilarious in the style of Monty Python films and Red Dwarf episodes, Good Omens regards the end times not with seriousness, but as a seriously good-natured goof.
Customer Reviews
I love this book
I love the work of both of these authors separately but together they have made something really great. I don’t own the digital version but my battered old copy is just as good. Very well adapted into the tv show with the second season made as setup for the planned second novel that was never written. This is a wonderful book
Crowley. And his dead plant.
This is the best book I’ve ever read. I got it for my 9th birthday after seeing the series and since then I have completely loved it.
Wasn’t that good
Some people said they loved it but not for me. I’ve read hundreds of sci-fi/fantasy books and I gave up halfway through this one. The comedy it describes is just not that funny and you have to put a real effort in to following the story or you have no clue what is happening.
