Good Omens

Marvellously benign, ridiculously inventive and gloriously funny * GUARDIAN *Wickedly funny * TIME OUT *A superbly funny book. Pratchett and Gaiman are the most hilariously sinister team since Jekyll and Hyde. If this is Armageddon, count me in – JAMES HERBERTWow * WASHINGTON POST *Heaven to read, and you’ll laugh like hell * Time Out *Not quite as sinister as the authors’ photo * The Times *Hilarious Pratchett magic tempered by Neil Gaiman’s dark steely style; who could ask for a better combination? * Fear *Good Omens is frequently hilarious, littered with funny footnotes and eccentric characters. It’s also humane, intelligent, suspenseful, and fully equipped with a chorus of “Tibetans, Aliens, Americans, Atlanteans and other rare and strange creatures of the Last Days.” If the end is near, Pratchett and Gaiman will take us there in style * Locus *

Neil Gaiman (Author)

Neil Gaiman is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novel series SANDMAN and of such novels for children as Coraline and for adults as American Gods and Stardust. His comics and novels have sold in their tens of millions. Like Terry, his works have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and also like Terry, he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. Unlike Terry, he has never been awarded a knighthood for services to literature, although his mother thinks that sooner or later the Queen will read one of his books and immediately knight him if she likes it, and that to be on the safe side he should leave out the rude words. He does have the Newbery Medal, though.

Terry Pratchett (Author)

Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. Raising Steam is his fortieth Discworld novel. His books have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. After falling out with his keyboard he now talks to his computer. Occasionally, these days, it answers back.
