Bubblesreview (110 KP) rated Good Omens in Books
Mar 3, 2019
Pros:
▪ Laugh out loud dark humour
▪ Footnotes
▪ Set in England
Cons:
▪ I didn't find it sooner?!
Why have I not known about this book until now? Please someone tell me! I picked this up in my local bookstore last week for £1 (mainly due to the intriguing cover) and I quickly found out it's actually very popular.
One thing I loved about this book was that it was set in England, reading such a classic with local town names and even roads and motorways that I know very well really made it for me.
The dark humour in it is absolutely laugh out loudable... some people have compared it to hitch hikers guide humour which is odd because I'm not actually a fan of the hitch hikers... but good omens just had me from page 1.
There are quite alot of characters which can make it a little tricky to keep track but I didn't have too much trouble with this as I took my time reading it.
The added footnotes I found really helpful, some funny and others were genuinely helpful with extra information.
I'm quite excited to hear that Amazon are currently making this into a show!
I 100% recommend GoOD OMeNs!

A bit darker and more creepy
Still more awesome 80's vibe
Better than the first series
I finally got round to finishing the series, not much of a binge watcher. I really enjoyed it. The story and sub plots were very good. Great trip down memory lane to the 80's. Along with plenty of humour it's a great series.

One of the most awesome moments of cinema history, courtesy of Mr Hopkins. I won't give it away, but if you don't belly laugh, a sense of humour bypass is going on (4 more)

Refreshingly fun
Some great moments of scripting genius
Just Anthony Hopkins!!!
Decent one for a family with pre teens

Sci-fi, Humour and Bob
One of the first Audible books I listened to. Made short work of my commute and I was hooked after 5 minutes.
Amazing story concept of Bob Prime and his copies alwith their differing personalities, all set in the future with brilliant Star Trek, Simpsons and current pop culture references.
Impossible to put down

A good animation with some slick visuals and decent humour. Just seen how good the voice cast line up is, not recognizing most of them. It has nice little in joke to one or two of Depp's other films and westerns in general. Just thought the actual story was about as basic as it could be, still an entertaining watch though.

I Would Be Game To Watch This Again
Me and the wife went to see this and we were just rolling,
So funny, humour is based on surprise and is just clever and not predictable,
I was really not expecting much, thought it would be a so so film but i was pleasently surprised

Great Rom-Com
One of the better more recent Rom-coms and one which most guys will probably find funny as well, in this battle of the sexes. It is predictable, but aren't they all?! It has some quite adult humour and has some very funny scenes and witty dialogue. Check it out even if you normally avoid the Rom-com genre!
