Notes: A profoundly British experience, its clever humor is wonderfully quirky, a path to war that toys with established lore, and as vibrant as an oil painting. If you're looking for funny book reviews, grab Terry Pratchett's *Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch*.

Literally every day I'm thinking about how this book was published in 1990 and in 2019 they finally made a miniseries and Neil Gaiman was like, hey, let's make this even *more* of a romcom than it already was just for the heck of it.I keep trying to land on what I think is the objective Best Thing about this ridiculous book that I loved reading so much and I think I’ve landed on this paragraph from a delightful review of the 2019 miniseries: “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies o...

I knew from page one that "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" wasn't going to work for me. I slogged through about half and just gave up. I lost the plot thread pretty early on because I just couldn't get interested in anything the book was doing. It all felt forced, like the themes and ideas were crammed into the narrative, and the plot had to bend over backward to accommodate them. It was trying way too hard to be funny instead of just, you know, *being* funn...

Don’t let anyone tell you this is just fantasy, humor, or plain fiction. Actually, *Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch* by Terry Pratchett is a profound philosophical and theological work. It explores good versus evil, nature versus nurture, free will, war, pollution, and organized religion. 😉But it’s cleverly disguised as a wild, madcap adventure featuring angels, demons, the M25 motorway, Manchester, raining fish, dolphins, Atlantis, aliens, the Apocalypse, th...

I somehow ended up reading them both simultaneously. So I couldn't help wonderingWhat Madam Bovary Might Have Thought Of Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, WitchThree days later, a package arrived; there was no return address, but she immediately recognised Rodolphe's hand. It contained a paperback novel, whose title was Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Feverishly, she cast herself over it. Her English was poor, but, with the aid of ...

One of my all-time favorite books. Right up there with *Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch* by Terry Pratchett. Seriously, if you're looking for a hilarious fantasy book review, look no further – this is a masterpiece, as good as *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*.

Honestly, *Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch* really let me down. I'd heard so much hype and meant to read Terry Pratchett's book for ages. I finally dove in, and for the first 20 pages, I was hooked! I thought, “Yes! This is going to be amazing.” It felt like discovering *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* all over again. It was sharp, moved at a cracking pace, and had some seriously clever digs at society and religion. But then, around the halfway mark, I r...

Heaven, hell, demons, angels, a ragtag group of children, witch-hunters, witches, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and the Antichrist all teamed up to make this book happen. And a readathon, a discount book-selling website, the buzz from a streaming-service television adaptation, boredom, poor decision-making, and a lack of social life had to come together to get me to read it.And it turned out pretty good.In spite of those long lists, the pacing of this was kind of clunky and odd. You'd think a bo...

“DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING," said Death. "JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.” The Apocalypse is not off to a good start.Ten years ago, Crowley (a demon) brought the infant Anti-Christ to a group of Satanic Nuns who swapped the Anti-Christ with a human child. For ten years, Aziraphale (an Angel) and Crowley educate the child on the finer points of good and evil. “People couldn't become truly holy," he said, "unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.” T...
