Buenos Presagios

According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...

It's really hard writing a review about this book. At least for me it is. I can't fully decide if i like it or not. I definitely know that i like the series more than the book. Though i quite enjoyed the book too. I'm just sad because episode 3 wasn't part of the book and also the thing that happens at the end of series 1 also wasn't part of the book. But anyways THEY LIKE HOLDING HANDS.

Good Omens is a wonderful book that is truly timeless and thanks to the way that the late Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's writing meshes together.At first, Good Omens is a fantasy; of an Angel and Demon and the fate of the world that rests in their hands. A tale of a war that has to happen because that is the way, and a child is at the centre of the chaos who can turn all we know on its head. But whilst there is, without doubt, a fantastical element to the story of two beings who should be the worst of enemies but are without doubt each other's closet friend (in my humble opinion) the true magic of Pratchett and Gaimon's ability to write together (of which, I hope there had been so many more opportunities for the two) is that Good Omens makes you really think.Beneath the Angels, Demons, oblivious mortals and witches... is the oldest question, that of good over evil, of the true extent of the Greater Good, our existence upon this planet and if it all ends suddenly. All woven so well within the adventures of Aziraphale and Crowley whose time on Earth has affected them both so there's a glimmer of good within evil and evil within good - they've taken on the way mortals are because few are truly good or truly evil.Good Omens is an exemplary example of incredible world-building and with a multitude of characters who are unique and add so much to the tale all of which have ensured that this has been a much-loved tale since its publication in 1990.I truly wish the two had had the time to complete the sequel, I know without a doubt it would have been as wondrous, and as timeless as this was.The world is without doubt, emptier without Terry Pratchett in it but books such as this keep him with us.
