Crowley is a demon, Aziraphale is an angel. When the son of the Dark Lord is swapped at birth (one too many times), he grows up not realising what he is. Meanwhile, Anathema has a book which predicts the end of the world, written by a very distant relative called Agnes Nutter. Will the world really end?
I am a big fan of both Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, so I'm actually surprised at myself for taking so long to read Good Omens. But now I have, and I enjoyed it very much.
It is subtly amusing, with some points that actually made me laugh out loud. It is the sense of humour that I enjoy from these two authors.
I didn't really like Adam, and I guess that's probably intentional. He seems entitled, and especially within his gang. I suppose despite his upbringing his true self is shining through.
I like Anathema and Newt. They are so clumsy and adorable.
A good read. Now I need to watch the TV series to see how they compare!
