Can I start by saying that Good Omens should be required reading? Yes I can, this is my review. Can I also start by saying that Terry Pratchett was a genius and Neil Gaiman is a genius. Again, yes, again, because this is my review. I love Good Omens with every fibre of my being. I watched the show a couple of months ago, loved it and started my David Tennant hyperfixation (ongoing). It also, subsequently, started me on my journey to reading every Neil Gaiman book ever written (I’m currently 1.5 books in). Anyway this book is absolutely delectable, everyone drop what your doing and read it immediately xoxo
