A good and imaginative story I enjoyed in spite of some descriptive humor that took too long to play out to qualify for what Shakespeare would consider the soul of wit. The story frequently dragged, though the overarching plot was entertaining, albeit pointless if you think about it.

The dialogue in Good Omens is very witty and entertaining. The plot is thin and hard to care for. Characters are memorable but I wish there were fewer characters to focus on. The book has many passages that were so laugh out loud funny that I might re-read it just for those. This one is a great book to read with a fellow book-lover.
A humorous, very English, look at the apocalypse. Think Douglas Adams.
