Good Omens

While reading some background info on Terry Pratchett, I ran across mention of Good Omens, a Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman collaboration that is supposedly a funny take on the apocalypse on Earth. Has anyone read this? It sounds like it might be worth looking into.

    It is absolutely hilarious. It's definitely worth a read.

    Oh, so about as long as one of the trilogy books....hmm, they've been fun reads so far. Why not?

    Good Omens has an enthusiastic cult following -- one that I am a member of, I might add. I've been urging it on people for decades. I even own a first edition.

    Good Omens is unusual in many ways: Pratchett's not otherwise known for collaborations; Gaiman's not otherwise known for being laugh-out-loud funny; Gaiman's other collaborations are mostly with artists, not other writers; and it's one of Pratchett's few non-Discworld novels.
