Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman #pebbleinwaterswrites #books #bookreview #tbrchallenge #bookchatter @blogchatter

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a satirical humour with a philosophical touch in it. The story goes like this. There is an angel and there is a demon. Both of them team up to in order to stop the apocalypse when the anti Christ reaches the correct age. There is something unique I found in the writing styles of Pratchett and Gaiman. The story is worth reading not only one but repeatedly. And every time it's bound to give same kind of enjoyment. It's a beautiful story written in a beautiful style. Character building is quite impressively done. The humor is imbibed in the story so classically that it refreshed mind completely. Story is absolutely engaging with a right kind of pace and rhythm. Every character has a significant presence in the story. Reading this book is an absolute treat.

Basically, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a parody of the movie Omen but it's far better than the movie. Demon Crowley, as an agent to Satan makes an arrangement that an American diplomat's wife will be giving birth the same night to a son in an unknown hospital. This hospital has numb nuns from a satanist order. So, the devil's child is decided to be brought up in a family that is supposed to provide him with the setup to create a huge chaos that will lead to the final battle between the good and the evil. Eventually, something wrong goes with the whole plan. So, when after eleven years forces of hell and heaven are there to have a final battle that will lead to the destruction of the earth finishing human beings completely, nothing of that sort happens and the whole plan goes haywire. 

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a big tank of humor that will make you laugh /giggle throughout.
