Journal Entry 1 by Thorngage from Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz Germany on Tuesday, March 16, 2004

"According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future, the world will end on a Saturday.

Next Saturday, in fact.

Just before dinner.

Which means that Armageddon will happen on Saturday night. There will be seas on fire, rains of fish, the moon turning to blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it out once and for all.

Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend Aziraphale, genuine angel and London bookshop owner. They like it down here (or in Crowley's case, up here).

So they've got no alternative but to stop the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witchfinder army* and - somehow - stop it all from happening.

Above all (or, in Aziraphale's case, below all) they need to find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature on Earth.

This is a shame.

Because he's eleven years old, loves his dog even though it's really a Satanic hellhound under all that hair, really cares about the environment and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He's also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid.

And if that isn't enough, they've still got Sunday to deal with...

*All two of them."

Journal Entry 7 by Eucalia from Snoqualmie, Washington USA on Wednesday, June 16, 2004

Generally speaking, this isn't my type of humor. But it didn't take too long before I was laughing out loud despite myself. This is a very quick read but also very enjoyable. Thanks Thorngage for sharing this with us!

Journal Entry 10 by yourotherleft from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania USA on Monday, September 27, 2004

I finished this yesterday and sent it on to the next person in line today.

It was great. I loved the hilarious footnotes. Definitely a very interesting picture of the "end of the world." Oddly enough, though, I actually saw some serious themes in a book that one would think was written to be entirely funny. Sorry for holding on to this so long and thanks for sharing, Thorngage! =)

I received this book today. I will read it and post a review ASAP. Thanks to Thorngage for the bookring. 

Journal Entry 12 by alanfoxboro from Searcy, Arkansas USA on Monday, October 25, 2004

I finished Good Omens today. Thanks again to Thorngage for the bookring.

This was a very humorous book, however, even more impressive was the insight Pratchett and Gaiman give into the nature of the relationship between good and evil. Having said that, my favorite part of the book was the scene where Crowley shamelessly intimidates his houseplants. Classic.

This book is going in the mail to Stensler tomorrow. 

Journal Entry 13 by Stensler from Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA on Saturday, October 30, 2004

received in the mail today. Have 2 bookring books ahead of it but it shouldn't be long. 

Journal Entry 14 by Stensler from Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA on Monday, December 27, 2004

Well it has been long and I am sorry for the wait. I finished the book recently and enjoyed it very much. It was oddly reminiscent of the humor and style of Douglas Adams, so much so in fact that I think I saw one of the same jokes. Perhaps it was an homage to Adams…


I still enjoyed it. And sorry I kept it so long. I will be sending Good Omens out in the mail tommorow.
