Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett
Buy on Amazon: Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Crazy, crazy, crazy book. I was reminded of reading Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy while I was reading Good Omens (and felt the same way I did with Hitchhiker’s as well.. as if about 90% of the book was just flying over my head).
It was crazy in a very fun way though. I chortled and laughed dozens and dozens of times. I found myself scratching my head and re-reading certain paragraphs again and again, and at times I felt my eyes cross because there was just so much happening.
I loved the portrayal of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine was especially my favorite, I think mostly because I can see something like that happening today! It’s not at all far from where we are as a society.
The one thing that confused me the most was, for having Agnes Nutter in the title, there really wasn’t all that much having to do with her prophesies. I did enjoy them when they showed up, it just didn’t seem like a central part of the book.
But that aside, I did enjoy it. I actually ended up purchasing a copy because I knew, just like Hitchhiker’s, it would be a book I’d need to re-read again and again to “get”.
o0o0o this sounds great!
I absolutely loved the Hitchhiker books, but the one Terry Pratchett book that I ever tried to read (many many years ago, when I was but a little bunny 
), I totally couldn’t get into, lol. It just made absolutely no sense! BBBUT I’ve read some awes0me Tom Holt books lately, and they’re just as strange, so maybe I’ll give this one a try
