First off, I am not one who really enjoys humorous fiction. Or for that matter most comedies - sometimes I think I'm humor-challenged. I made it through Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, smiling a few times, I grinned now and again during Galaxy Quest, you get the idea. For some reason I decided to watch Amazon's mini-series of Good Omens. And I just howled through most of the series, don't know why it tickled me so much, but then I figured I had to read the book.
I enjoyed it quite a lot, but like a baby duck the thing I saw first is what I like the best, so the mini-series will always be my favorite. The book has so many great little jokes in it, all that deadpan humor, and I expect even more of it went over my head as I'm not British. In the book, I liked The Them the most. I think if I hadn't seen the series I wouldn't really have understood what Adam did at the end, though, it didn't really come clear to me. This may not be a book I re-read over and over again, but it's definitely going in my collection.
