Crazy, crazy, crazy book. I was reminded of reading Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy while I was reading Good Omens (and felt the same way I did with Hitchhiker's as well.. as if about 90% of the book was just flying over my head).
It was crazy in a very fun way though. I chortled and laughed dozens and dozens of times. I found myself scratching my head and re-reading certain paragraphs again and again, and at times I felt my eyes cross because there was just so much happening.

4/27/2015 - I love this book. I listened to the BBC Radio 4 version this time and it made this amazing book even better.
11/24/2011 - I wanted more. Perhaps these two can get together to write a sequel following our favorite angel and demon.

This book is both hilarious and thought-provoking.
But mostly hilarious. I recommend it to people who can laugh at religion and ideology. Also, to people who need to learn how to laugh at religion and ideology.

It was good overall, but was only occassionally funny, and the ending was "off".
