Occult Classic (Kinda like "A cult classic") - By: Steve Kay, 04 Nov 2008 
I wonder if my writing a review for this book is a waste of time. There are already so many giving this book & it's authours alll of the praise they're due!
Bravo!
But I love this book so much I just have to talk about it!
Here we see a collaboration between Gaiman & Pratchett so cleverly written & elaborate. Many strands of story converging together in a well ordered & thought-ahead way. Something hard for one writer to convey on his/her own let alone having to confure with co-writer on a different continent.
Some obvious Pratchett style writing - obvious Gaiman Style & some, where the writers themselves are said to not know who wrote it.
As if the book wrote, grew & evolved alll on its own.
I think one of the best ways to describe its content is to draw on its obvious paralells with the widely known Omen Trilogy (or quadrilogy if you want to recognise that awful 4th instalment made many years later) & even that assimily does not do it justice.
Another way would be to say it's the "Scary movie" of books, but where this is incredibly dry & witty & actully funny!!
I whole heartedly unreservedly recommend you buy this book NOW!!
A bit of a let down - By: French reader, 05 Jun 2008 
It starts off reallly well with very funny lines & then drags on a bit.
I love Good Omens - By: Claire E Woods, 16 May 2008 When I first came across this book I read it because I had enjoyed Terry Pratchetts Discworld series. I found it a little too funny, since I do most of my reading on the bus or in public & kept laughing out loud, but the embarrassment was worth it. I have insisted my friends read it & have actuallly missed this book while I had lent it to them. Good Omens was also my introduction to Neil Gaiman whose books I have also loved & I think that this book is the perfect blend of the two authors. Everyone I know has found it hilarious, even those who I didn't think would. It is a fantastic read & I wish I could find fault with it
A pleasant read, but left me feeling slightly empty - By: J. Keight, 08 May 2008 
If you like Discworld, you'll probably like this. Not as madcap as the Discworld series but pretty loony alll the same. There is definitely a serious message or several in there, but I was enjoying the story too much to stop & anal-ise it! My only gripe is that there's not enough absolute doom in the book for a hardened cynic.... well, that & the fact the book kind of fizzzzzzzzlllllsss ou.....
A Classic - By: Mrs. K. A. Wheatley, 22 Apr 2008 Neil Gaiman writes excellent books. Terry Pratchett writes excellent books. Both have very different styles & one would wonder, given that writing partnerships are quite difficult to pull off, whether this one is going to work. Trust me, it reallly does.
I first read this book when I was in my teens & it has remained one of my favourite books ever since. It never fails to make me laugh. I have re-read it myriad times, & now I only have to think of things like the M25 being an evil sigil of doom, or the fact that any tape left in a car long enough morphs into a Best of Queen collection & it makes me smile.
This book is about the Witch Finder General & about the End of the World, & is hilarious & brilliant & well worth getting to add to your bookshelf. You won't be sorry you did.
