Good Omens - Discussion Post #2

Good morning lovely people!

Thanks for bearing with me as I hunted down my darn book. It's been a few weeks of epic proportions, being the first few weeks back for most people from long vacations, and my brain has been pretty fried. Finding my book last night actually almost made me sob, hahaha. One thing going right in a week of madness.

Anyway, if you're reading along you should be up to the paragraph header "A Lorry Had Shed..." and be through to the madness that is coming for Aziraphale and Crowley! Let's chat!

Here are your questions for the week:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you've had a chance to meet Adam and "Them" in earnest, what do you think about this young bunch of  friends? What do you think of Adam's powers?

Do you think Adam would have ended up a different entity, if he hadn't been misplaced?

Since you've gotten more exposure to Agnes Nutter and her prophecies, what do you think about how they play into the larger story? How do you view the role of Anathema?

What do you think about the portrayal of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As always, feel free to talk about anything else that you'd like! Did a quote make you laugh? Do you have an unpopular opinion? Is this book just driving you mad?

Let's have a discussion!

Good Omens - Discussion Post #1

Good morning lovely people!

If you're following along at a steady pace, this week you should have read from the section titled "In the Beginning", right up until the end of the section titled "Tuesday"!

Hopefully you're finding that you adore Crowley, and Aziraphale, despite their silly quirks. Or because of them! Hopefully you're also finding that sweet space that lies between Terry Pratchett's silliness, and Neil Gaiman's wonder. These two were a force to be reckoned with, I think!

Here are your questions for the week:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are your first impressions of Crowley and Aziraphale? Do you think they are distinctly good or distinctly evil?

Good Omens is billed as a comedic fantasy novel, but it touches on a lot of things that definitely settled in the real world. Specifically religion. How do you feel about the way that this story is told, so far?

Now that you've gotten a pretty good glimpse at our cast of characters, who is your favorite?

(I am so in love with DOG.)
