Has anyone read this book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett?? It's *hilarious*. What do you guys think??

It's fantastic - I totally love it, if you liked it can I suggest some of Terry Pratchett's other works from the Discworld series? I'm sure you would love the series of you liked Good Omens, just don't start of with the first 3 or 4 books in the series or the latest book as they are some of the weakest of the series - trust me overall the series is fantastic and totally worth it.

I really enjoyed Good Omens actually. I thought they made a good writing team. I'd say it's at least 2 years since I read it though.

One of my favourite books - my current copy is battered to illegibility due to my repeated readings over the past ten years or so. Very similar humour to the Discworld series.

Where might I purchase this book? Easons? if so under which heading fiction non fiction, or what?

Cake Fiend

Fantasy/SciFi, Easons would probably have it, otherwise try Waterstones, Hodges Figgis, etc.

Must dig out my copy of this, it's long overdue a re-read.

I read it years before i got around to seeing the film 'the omen', and once i saw the film realised that while i'd been giggling away at the book there was a lot of the humour that i was missing.

absolute quality read, I liked Gaiman's input to it which imo made it a better read than the usual Pratchett stuff.

suggest you have a read of some of the Robert Rankin stuff , similiar lunacy.

Yeah, great book.

Aside from Pratchett's other books, it's worth reading some of Neil Gaiman's stuff. The Sandman graphic novels, of course, but also American Gods and... I think it was called Stardust. All brilliant.

Superb book, and eminently filmable I would have thought. The makings of a very Python British Apocalypse flick - the perfect antedote to all the vile American guff of the last few years. Give it a few years and New Line will snap it up.
