What this book is about
Aziraphale (an angel) and Crowley (a demon) have spent 6,000 years on Earth and have developed a comfortable arrangement—and something like a friendship. When the Antichrist is misplaced and the apocalypse begins its countdown, they set out to prevent it. Good Omens is a British comic fantasy with a deep affection for the world, extensive footnotes, and a fundamentally warm worldview.
