Why did it take me so long to pick this one up?
Seriously. If you haven’t read Good Omens yet you are in for a real treat. Especially if you like absurdist tongue in cheek Hitchhiker style humor, passages good enough you want to read them out loud to anyone that happens to be in ear shot, and footnotes (so many witty footnotes. )
I arrived as a fan of Gaiman (who is deeply lovable and allows students writing reports about him to call him friend and address him as Neil in their writing, and defends sense all over the internet) and I depart a fan of Pratchett, though I suspect I was always destined to end up there.
Instant new favorite. 5 stars
