I struggled to decide how I feel about this book because though it was enjoyable (eventually) it wasn't particularly well written. I actually didn't enjoy the book at first and was afraid that it was going to end up being a much lower rating. The story took a while to get going and it wasn't until we were really immersed in Otherworld that the plot became interesting.
I liked some of the characters, but I wasn't a huge fan of any of them. For me, personally, I usually need to relate to one of the characters in some way to form more of a connection to the book. Otherwise, it's just a book. It's the stories that hit you hard and you feel like you're living them with your favourite characters that make a mark. This book is not one of those stories.
In the end, I was more intrigued (and horrified) by the world of Otherworld that the authors built than the characters or the mission that they were on. I wish the various "lands" were more vividly described because I felt like there was something missing. I wanted to see more of the world than we were exposed to. I hope that there is more development of the world in the second book.
Overall, it was an interesting book but not a favourite.

I felt it started off really slowly and picked up a few chapters in.
The writing is fantastic, you really feel as if your in the Arctic and space.
I loved the fact that in the end the last people alive already had a connection and they didn't know who eachother were when they connected by radio..... Its was bittersweet I think.
I do wish however that at the end of the book, when they land on earth i would have liked to know what happened to earth. That's going to bug me!!

The best thing about this show is by far the interactions between Aziraphale and Crowley, and the performances of Michael Sheen and David Tennant. They’re so much fun and this is where virtually all of the laughs in this show come from. They’re a great pairing, even if they are a little over the top at times, and my favourite episode by far was the one that showed their interactions over the ages. It’s the rest of the plot that I feel let’s this show down a little bit. There are some wonderful cameos from a whole host of stars, and Jon Hamm was great if a little underused. I would’ve loved to have seen more of him. However I really wish they hadn’t cast Jack Whitehall, I don’t get his appeal as he’s an horrendous actor and rather irritating.
The problem though is that despite this show being about the Antichrist and the end of the world, the ending itself is rather lacklustre and whilst everyone wants to stop (or start) the end of the world, the urgency and tension and terror is all too lacking. I get that this is meant to be humorous, but it can still be funny and threatening in the same episode. I actually think they could’ve done without the whole end of the world thing and just had buddy type show with Aziraphale and Crowley that would’ve been just as or even more entertaining. I’m intrigued now to see how this plays out in the book and if it works better.
Nigel Holmes (16 KP) rated Millennium in TV
May 7, 2019
It was created by Chris Carter the legendary brain behind The X Files.
It follows former FBI Agent Frank Black who's job consists of catching the worst criminals ever imagined.
Frank has a special gift and along with the help of the mysterious Millennium Group he sets out attempting to catch the worst of the worst.
It's really gripping and intense balancing between the supernatural parts of the Bible and the end of the world as the millennium aproaches with lots of twists and turns.
This certainly was and is one of the best shows ever made.
You wouldn't be disappointed
