Review: Good Omens
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Every time I think about the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse, I start laughing again. War, Famine, Pollution...and Stupid Things that Won't Bloody Work Even when you Thump Them. The book is filled with so many of these clever and amusing details.
I listened to the audio version of this book and Martin Jones did an amazing job. As I listened, I was struck by the similarity in style to Eoin Colfer's "And Another Thing." It had the cleverness and hilarity of the entire Hitchhiker's series but in the tone I felt Colfer applied to the story. I've enjoyed several Neil Gaiman books and was not disappointed in this one! Terry Pratchett is new to me but I'll definitely read more.
