I absolutely loved this audiobook with all the cast voices, including the great ensemble.
This will be one of my most treasured books, despite dated language used which is why I knocked off 0.25.

I was deeply fascinated by how many different ways they found to call Aziraphale gay. Personal favourites include him collecting Oscar Wilde first editions, getting called three different anti-gay slurs, and frequenting discreet Victorian gentleman's clubs.
The book contains some killer quotes and I quite liked the ending.
Unfortunately there's rather a lot of scenes you have to soldier through that are about character that didn't interest me despite their best efforts.
Also, as much as both Anathema and Madam Tracy are boring, they still deserve better boyfriends than the ones they end up with. Those dudes Suck.
The scenes that I hated the most were the ones apparently written mostly by just-Neil or just-Terry, which are the long passages of War and Famine that aged incredibly poorly, and children talking at each other for ages.
There's also a lot of racism in this book, which is either supposed to be satire or just reflecting the way that white British people in 1990 thought about the rest of the world. Doesn't change the fact that it's racist, though.

It’s perfect as is and ngl
In my opinion, I saw Adam as the main character with everyone else in the plot moving as major characters around him, including Aziraphale and Crowley. Now that I have read the book, I am not saying that the Amazon series is now utter trash and you shouldn’t watch it (because you should). What I’m saying is that the book is my preferred adaptation because Aziraphale and Crowley less limelight in the book than they did in the show, which gave other characters I completely forgot about some small space in the story and more important people got to have room to breathe.
