greeny reviewed Good Omens by Neil Gaiman
Review of 'Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
In the last time I mainly read books which had either very serious topics or were difficult to read because of their language in general. Time for me to read one of Gooreads favourite books of one of my favourite author, Terry Pratchett. This book is not part of the Discworld Cycle, although you find a few things that this book shares with his universe. The story plot is about the fight between Hell and Heaven, preparing for the apocalypse, while some human, demons and angels try to hold things together. So a typical Terry Pratchett plot. But you don't read the book because of the plot. It's Pratchett's black humor, his perspective on life and ourselves, the ability that the reader can't stop reading and accepts one of these Walt Disneys Happy Ends without Grief. I wanted to read a book, that makes me laugh and feel good, and this is what I got. There are still better books of him, like 'Small gods', for example, but still I really enjoyed it.
