Vee’s Reviews > Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch > Status Update

God this is such a fun read, and I really enjoy the emphasis of the way humanity works as not being affected by heaven or hell, but just as a result of free will. Is that a kind of philosophy?

Just realized that my copy of this book has less pages than the copy I’m using so I am farther along than it says here. Anyways. Agnes Nutter we stan

Absolutely love the conversations between the Them. It’s just such prepubescent logic LMFAO. I have to say, the fact that the apocalypse starts because the Antichrist became a conspiracy theorist and can make every theory true sure is! A decision! How do people come up with that? Also It made me think of WTNV.

Christ this book is so fun and clever!!! And once again I’m saying that the show is such a good adaptation that lines and lines of dialogue and some narration are word for word! I’m doing this thing where I read 100 pages, realize I desperately need those pages read by the cast, then pick up the audiobook. It’s a bit repetitive, but my, am I having the time of my life.

Also I just got the audiobook from Libby (full cast with David Tennant and Michael Sheen) and I'M SO HYPE!!!! I've been saying the best way to "adapt" a book is with a full cast narration of the audiobook; you have the perfect cast and there's no deviation from the book itself because It Is the book. Put a little soundtrack and maybe some sound effects and it's almost a podcast adaptation! Just like Dracula! WAHOO!

I simply adore the writing style in this. Mr Young kinda sucks though?

I must say, the show is an INCREDIBLE adaptation seeing how the wording of the introduction is basically word for word. I LOVE THE VIBE it's so silly! And fun! And the Earth is a Libra just like me!

I am about to become QUITE insufferable!

i love this book!! the dog naming !!!

also the show’s been pretty accurate esp w the vibe of the book so slay
