Comments
When I picked this book up and read the back I was thinking, "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and when I started reading it I was thinking "Dogma". And I was mostly right so if you liked that movie and liked the book, you'd probably like Good Omens. Pratchett and Gaiman fill the book with little jokes, cracks, and footnotes (Do read them, they are annoying sometimes, but they add to the book). However, sometimes the book gets hard to read because of the dialog . Not that the dialog is bad, but because of the characters accents it's hard to put together exactly what they're saying in one pass. Overall a good light read that had me laughing (Cracking up over the Biker gang part)
