I wanted to read this book as soon as possible as it is the book that inspired my favourite show. I enjoyed it while listening to the audiobook at the same time. The only issue is that some parts were unnecessarily long or didn't need to be included at all. It would have saved a few pages if these parts were cut and wouldn't have affected much of the story. Anyway, I still enjoyed the book! ^^

I honestly prefer the book to the Amazon series. The plot is more…at ease amongst the zaniness going on. 
It’s perfect as is and ngl

unless they tie Warlock into Season 2 with what I interpreted at the end as Warlock having demonic powers like Adam I really don’t understand why they are making a Season 2 at all.

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.
