About This Book
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want genuine wit: sharp, clever writing that earns its laughs. The prose is accessible: you can read this quickly and it never asks too much of you. It moves quickly: once you're in, it's hard to stop. If you need emotional weight in your reading, the lightness here may frustrate.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something funny and clever, and a read that's fast and propulsive.
What It Explores
Good Omens explores friendship and what it genuinely asks of us, identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be, and survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people.
