fantastic book! book arrived on time as said and was not damaged when arriving. The drawings inside are fantastic and i cant wait to finish this book. I'm hooked. highly recommend!!!

I brought this book as a birthday present they loved it

Terry Pratchett is a firm favourite author of mine. I love the discworld and cannot wait to continue journeying through the series. Neil Gaiman is another firm favourite. He is a literary superstar! (American Gods, Anansi Boys, and Neverwhere are all due rereads too!) Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman together? A match made in Heaven (Or perhaps not, depending on how deeply you read into Good Omens).I first read Good Omens back in 2017, whilst on a binge read of Neil Gaiman’s books. I adored it! Fast forward to this month, when I reread it, and enjoyed it just as much – If not more!In the beginning there was Aziraphale (an angel; originally a guardian of the gates of Eden) and Crowley (a demon; originally the serpent who tempted Eve). Having been enemies for thousands of years, they were “almost friends” long before the apocalypse began.Although the book is a comedy about the birth of the son of Satan, and the coming of the End Times, it is also a love story of epic proportions. Firstly, that of Aziraphale and Crowley’s asexual love for one another (Or perhaps sexual, who am I to decide?). Secondly, that of Adam and the “Them,” and their love for one another as friends. Finally, the attraction of Witchfinder Private Newton Pulsifer to the occultist, Anathema Device.Interestingly, Anathema Device is one of several characters in Good Omens named after  the original Pendle witches, as well as Agnes Nutter, a prophet burned at the stake. The Pendle Witches are a never ending source of curiosity for me.Good Omens also parodies Matthew Hopkins’ title of “Witchfinder General.” Matthew Hopkins (Approx. 1620-1647) was indeed a witchfinder by trade, and though he claimed to hold the office of Witchfinder General, that title was never bestowed by Parliament.Finally, I found the modern versions of the Four Horsemen (although War is a woman) of the Apocalypse to be artfully depicted. War spreads conflict as a war correspondent; Famine promotes starvation and deprivation as an entrepreneur and dietician; Pollution ensures mass environmental disaster through a wide variety of jobs (Having worked at Chernobyl just before the plant went into meltdown), and; Death – being the leader of the four – reaps the souls of the dead, in the style of the traditional grim reaper.Here's to many more rereads to come over the years!

A beautifully illustrated book. My husband loved it as a present.

I ordered this on a whim after I found out it existed. The first copy I was sent was in awful condition; it looked like it had been sat on a shelf in a charity shop for a few years and then shoved carelessly into a box to be shipped. I requested a replacement with Amazon, and the second copy I received arrived in good time and was in absolutely perfect condition! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the story is just brilliant. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is considering getting it.

Good

I love this book. I have first release, but I bought this one for the illustrations.Story in itself is great, and I recommend it to anyone that likes Neil Gaiman’s and Terry Pratchett’s writing.Book is a hardback, good size, the font isn’t too small either, so it’s pleasant to read. The illustrations are great and I recommend getting this version to anyone that enjoys Good Omens

Bought for my daughters birthday she loves it

llego antes de la fecha prevista, llego en muy buen estado y solo con un pequeño defecto que me provoca mucha gracias pero aun así esta muy bien, el libro me llego impreso al revés jajajaja aun asi me lo pienso quedar por aquello de error de impresión que a lo mejor llegue hacer algo raro en el libro, de ahi todo perfecto, el proceso de compra y todo 10/10, puede que a lo mejor lo vuelva a comprar más adelante pero esperare para que no me llegue de nuevo al revés.

I had Good Omens (without the illustrations) and lent the book to a friend (never got back). It has a lot more story than the paperback version. It's a very funny book and the illustrations are enjoyable too. For example, Crowley is running away from the demons trying to collect him for hell and he's in his Bentley taking it literally through the Thames River (good thing his windows were rolled up). Although we have some mention of Aziraphale (whenever he gets into the 20 century his gets stuck into 1950s) there is more of a viewpoint from Crowley. I highly recommend this book for a good, fun read.

Love the book and the illustrations are gorgeous
