Good Omens (6)

Alright, so I figure I'd better post about a novel that I thought was worth reading. This book, by Neil Gaiman, is my favorite telling of the apocalypse. It is supernatural (the fight between God and Lucifer), but it doesn't take it seriously. I personally found the book well worth my money. Thoughts/opinions from anyone else who's read it?

Nobody? Umbra has a sad.

>>3 Not Sad, "a sad". It's one of his clones. I like to throw them at walls.

I really loved Good Omens. It's been a while since I read it last, but it's the kind I'd probably find myself re-reading sometime. Terry Pratchett is my favorite author, for his style, humor and creativity, and Neil Gaiman one I also really admire. Their combined writing and mutual comedic irreverence for the subject material, in my opinion, really comes together in a great book, with likable, entertaining characters and a funny, but still kind of epic story full of crazy hi-jinks.
