The relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale is really entertaining as they both try to stop the Rapture from happening. Crowley and Aziraphale, along with other characters such as Anathema Device, try to stop the apocalypse from happening. Agnes predicted the birth of the Antichrist and the apocalypse before she was put to death in the late 1600s. The story revolves around the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, and her descendants’ attempts to understand and translate them. Good Omens follows a number of different characters including Crowley, ‘An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards’, Aziraphale, an actual Angel, and Adam, the Antichrist. The book is funny, witty, and includes the most likable demon I’ve ever encountered in literature. Good Omens is a collaborative novel between Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett about the biblical apocalypse. However, when I picked it up again I was filled with joy because these two wonderful writers created a hilarious book and finishing the book with tears of laughter in my eyes was the best tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett that I could think of. I was halfway through reading Good Omens when he passed and I unfortunately had to put the novel down for a few months. I adore his Discworld series and I was so sad when he passed away in March. Sir Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors. But both the angels and demons – well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel – would quite like the Rapture not to happen.Īnd someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist… The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. Just after tea… People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. Summary:According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter – the world’s only totally reliable guide to the future – the world will end on a Saturday.
