I just re-read this book, and I had forgotten how amazing it is. Brilliant, funny, and, most important to a good book, full of characters that make you care about their fates. Gaiman and Pratchett have so many insights about humanity, and when their collective knowledge is put together, the result is something incredibly dynamic and powerful. Good Omens is the product of the efforts of two great authors, and it is obvious that both had immense fun in writing it. It bleeds through the pages and infects the reader. This is one of the few books that can make me laugh aloud while reading it, and yet it is not merely shallow humor.
