Funny, clever, neat concept, one of my favourite books of all time.

Deze review is niet over het boek zelf, wat ik echt geweldig vind.Ik had dit boek besteld omdat er op de foto een zwart/geel versie staat, maar als het pakje toegekomen was bleek het een witte versie te zijn (zie foto), en deze versie heb ik al.Ik blijf nog steeds op zoek naar de zwart/geel versie!

The book is awesome but some of the things came damaged like the book was bent and a few pages were miss printed :/

I do not believe that there is anything that I can say about this book that would express how amazing it is, but I shall try nonetheless. The story follows an angel, a demon, and their plan (and I use that term loosely) to foul the coming apocalypse. The Antichrist has been born but even that did not go the way Heaven or Hell wanted it to. Aziraphale (the angel) and Crowley (the demon) have a kind of familiarity that borders on friendship, although none of them wants to admit to that. But what else is to be expected when you have spent centuries, since the dawn of the human race, living lives that intertwine. They may be divine (one of them formerly), but they are creatures nonetheless.Written by two authors, Good Omens is a ride that you do not want to hop off of. It is the satire of the ages, a bud that blooms into a beautiful flower. Although it separately follows many different characters, you are not once bored or just reading to get to your favourite. The story weaves between all of these characters' journeys and you cannot wait to see where this journey will end; even though you have a pretty good idea of it. It is the Apocalypse, after all.Humorous and sublime, and at time hilarious beyond measure, Good Omens is a good read for anyone and everyone. The writing never lets you down as the tension and excitement build as we loom closer and closer to the Apocalypse. The story is unpredictable and a whirlwind ride. Nothing ever goes according to Crowley and Aziraphale's design. While the forces of Heaven and Hell wait to for fulfilment of the inevitable divine plan, the two wonder whether that plan is the plan after all.If this book seems like something you would enjoy, check out Good Omens TV series on Prime Video, which does the books justice and is breathtakingly good.
