A cool guy devil and a flamboyantly effeminate angel living on Earth try to stop the end times because they've come to enjoy all of Earth's pleasures (mosly driving fast cars and reading, respectively). Also, there's the anti-christ, a descendant of a prophet who's predicted everything, some random British guy, etc. There's a lot going on here.

I've always been a big fan of Neil Gaiman and so on the heels of reading the Colour of Magic (the first Discworld book from Terry Pratchett) and enjoying it, I decided that it was about time I read Good Omens (a book written by both of them).

As I started reading, I realized that I had tried to read this book probably over a decade ago and dropped it (I don’t remember why).

Good Omens starts off strong and ends strong, and I’ve come to appreciate the middle part more and more as I’ve taken some distance from the book.

But, in the moment, actually reading it, I found the middle to be boring and meandering (and that's probably why I didn't finish the book the first time).

Despite this, Good Omens is unique and I can recommend it but it's far from my favorite Neil Gaiman book or Terry Pratchett book.
