| | Good Omens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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... |

| | Wonderful Culture: Analysis of Good Omens |
| | "Good Omens" is written in a very cynical tone, but at the same time the authors manage to project a very optimistic picture of mankind, or at least what man could be, using descriptive yet colloquial style. | | | "Good Omens" is one of the best books, if not the best book, that I have ever read. | | | As a book of this genre it is really good as well. |

| | If something good comes his way, he expresses his gratitude to God, and it will be good for him; and if he experiences an adversity, he shows patience, and that will again be good for him. | | | We note here that such words may be without foundation, but the fact that they give us a sense of optimism is beneficial, provided that we attribute all future events to God's will. | | | In fact, it is forbidden, unless one tries to dispel its effects by placing his trust in God. |

All are enormous fun, especially if this is a reader's first go-round with this book. | | | And what matters is not to be Good or Evil Incarnate, but Human Incarnate. | | | There is a proper little foreword, just long enough to whet one's appetite for the main course of the book. |

| | Dreams: Good Omens, by Terry Gilliam |
| | Gilliam is in talks with Johnny Depp and Robin Williams to star in Good Omens, which he and long-time writing partner Tony Grisoni adapted from the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, about the battle between heaven and hell to track down the newborn antichrist after it is misplaced at the hospital. | | | Terry Gilliam is all set to start adapting Good Omens, a book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. | | | And I thought 'Good, he understands the book, he understands how to do it more than I ever did.' |
