I read a comment somewhere about a person reading Lamb right after reading this.  I can certainly understand why, however I must say that Lamb is my all time favorite book, and Good Omens (although excellent) was no where near Lamb. Not even close. Lamb left you a fuzzy yet I've lost a best friend feeling, and Good Omens was just a great story.

Good Omens is a story about Armageddon and the fight between Heaven and Hell, with two angels (one from each side) doing their best to foil the plans. The way they see it, six thousand years wasn't long enough for them. 

Although this book was written by two authors, you certainly would not be able to tell. I will be picking up Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, and checking out the other books by Terry Pratchett.

I finished this book last night with the thought of how wonderful it all has been. What an excellant book. I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone, but the ending was much like a fairytale. Also, you do not need to know anything at all about Shakespeare's Macbeth in order to enjoy this story.

Beginning & Middle Review

This is yet another book that I've had on my bookshelf for quite sometime. Sometimes picking it up, only to abandon it again for other books that caught my interest. It's a serious shame that I didn't give this a full chance.

The Beginning - This story starts off with a young woman named Gilly who lives in the a broken down hut with two old wise woman. The story telling is wonderfully told, and it's not hard to imagine the three woman picking through the dead bodies on the battlefield. Soon, Gilly begins to ask the two woman when they will kill Him (Macbeth). I am worried at this point that I have never read any Shakespeare other than the required reading of Romeo and Juliet in High School. Hopefully I will be able to follow along, as this book is written about the three witches that foretell the downfall of the great Macbeth.

The Middle - Even though this story uses slightly different English and phrases used today it isn't hard at all to follow along. Speaking of phrases, there are a few that Gilly repeats over and over again. I'm a little tired of reading it. The author has done a good job with the characters, they are likable and easily imagined, but sometimes it's hard to take Gilly's "always have to be tough attitude." I also wish I knew more of Macbeth and why Gilly hates him. I don't know if it apart of Shakespeare's play or not.
