Hilarious, I even laughed out loud. Almost every footnote was a good punchline.

Even though I didn't love the plot, I still thoroughly enjoyed the novel. Aside from the humor, the depictions of the four horsemen was great. The idea that someone made inane and specific prophecies that her descendants dedicated their lives to...A++.

idk, I guess over all, this novel introduced a world I'd love to dive deeper into. The escapades of angels and demons, the Devices, Satanists that have nuns...

The only thing I didn't really like was Adam's plotline. Like, yeah, I know, central to the plot. But I do not care even a little bit about what the children were doing at any given time.

A while after watching the short TV series, I finally read Good Omens, which everyone has been telling me to read for years. It was funny, though a lot of things happened at once. The first half of the book really felt as though I was missing part of the series, like when you accidentally pick up book two in a series, and while it does stand on its own, you miss some important details about the characters.
