A young couple finding new love contrasts with the chemistry between two neighbors at midlife. A Hell Hound tries to find his inner playful pup. An “evil” nanny is countered by a “good” gardener. Meetings between representatives of the eternal conflict of good versus evil compare to spy versus spy. The novel shines when setting up parallel dynamics. Seeming adversaries can form alliances, friendships–even romantic connections. The strongest points of the book stem from relationships. It centers on the lives of an angel and a demon, who are preparing for the war between good and evil.
The sweeping satire of Apocalyptic prophecies re-situates the Battle of Armageddon in an English village. If you’ve never read the book, you’re in for a treat. The series is in production for an expected release in 2019. Gaiman, whose novel American Gods provides the source material for the hit Amazon series, is serving as Show Runner for another Amazon series based on Good Omens.
Now is a great time to reread Good Omens by Terry Pratchett, author of the Disc World series of novels, and Neil Gaiman, author of the Sandman graphic novels series and countless other works.
