 | | As Adam blissfully and naively uses his powers, the race is on to find him - the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (well, bikers, but who's counting?) are riding, and the incredibly accurate (although not particularly useful) prophecies of Agnes Nutter, sixteenth century prophetess, are rapidly coming true... | | | Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990) is a fantasy novel written in collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. | | | The book is a comedy and a somewhat parody of the 1976 film The Omen, concerning the birth of the son of Satan, the coming of the End Times and the attempts of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley to avert them, having become accustomed to their comfortable postings in the human world. |

| | Good Omens |
| | Combined, the two British authors have penned Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, which is a laugh riot of apocalyptic proportions. | | | The book begins shortly after the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, and the conversation between Crowley, a certain serpent-shaped demon, and Aziraphale, the angel guarding the eastern gate. | | | Well, who couldn't feel great when the climactic finale of human civilization is brought about by the cleverly fiendish minds of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, best known as the creators of The Sandman and Discworld, respectively. |

| | Anathema Device, who may [or may not] be the descendent of Agnes Nutter, takes her role quite seriously. | | | I highly recommend this book to anyone who can see the funny side of the Apocalypse, and the reformed views of Good and Evil (maybe they're not so different after all)! | | | I couldn't put this book down until I had turned every page and devoured every word. |

| | Good Omens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990) is a fantasy novel written in collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. | | | The tedious history of this project and similar experiences with projected films of various of Gaiman's other works (including The Sandman series) have led to his cynical view of the Hollywood process, a view which occasionally surfaces in his weblog [2] and in some of his short fiction. | | | The Dutch translation of Good Omens contains an ironic preface by the translator wherein he asserts that no extra footnotes were added to clarify matters that might be unclear to a modern audience — annotated with footnotes explaining omen and Crowley. |

| | Anathema Device, who may [or may not] be the descendent of Agnes Nutter, takes her role quite seriously. | | | With their combined wit and inventiveness, "Good Omens" is at least a laugh per page. | | | The subtitle of "Good Omens" says it all [except you will relearn the definition of "nice"]. |
