5.0

It’s an amazing book worth reading to anyone. It has witty jokes, original story telling and unique premise with very relevant themes. Be careful if you’re British, though. And either very easily offended, or overly patriotic to an extent of ridiculousness.

It was adapted to TV series (with season 2 confirmed now!) so you definitely should check that out. It’s very close to the book, so if you can, I would suggest watching first. To me, I would have found it hard to understand some bits in the book if I didn’t watch Good Omens first (but I’m not native speaker, so take it with a grain of salt).
